Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa 

A regional study of gender equality observatories in West and Central Africa, carried out by Claudy Vouhé for UN Women

Sources: UN Women

This regional study offers an inventory and analysis of the legal framework of gender observatories, their attributions, functions and missions. It is based on exchanges with 21 countries, in particular the eleven countries that have created observatories. It compares the internal organisation and budgets of the observatories between countries, looks at operational practices, in particular the degree of involvement in the collection and use of data, and identifies obstacles and good practices in terms of influencing pro-gender equality public policies. Finally, the study draws up a list of strategic recommendations intended for observatories, supervisory bodies and technical and financial partners.

This article revealed how the wildlife mobility in the corridor affects community livelihoods, mobility, and social inclusion, with a sense of differential impacts on farming and marginalised communities.

What do you want to do ?

Thank you all soooo much!
So far the list had 3 languages. But you can add articles in other languages. Someone recently created a section for German at the end of the list, you can do the same with the language you're adding. I'm trying to keep some "order" in the way articles are classified, and avoid double entries. It's getting tougher as more people add their own resources ... but it's great too, so I am not complaining!
As you are aware, quite a few organisations are now compiling comprehensive lists too, so giving links to portals and websites (instead of giving links to individual articles) is a good option. I know that a few large organizations are now trying to systematize data collection and sharing on the topic, this list is with them too, so hopefully whatever is added to it will go into the bigger "collective pot".
Thank you all again so much.
Claudy
