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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice

Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025

This article focused on the story of community living in a wildlife corridor that links India and Nepal, namely the Khata Corridor, which bridges Bardiya National Park of Nepal and Katarnia Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttar Pradesh, India.
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.

Event Description

This Gender Café draws on the experience of various stakeholders engaged in a feminist research project on women’s leadership pathways in Asia and the Pacific. The research was carried out between 2017 and 2020 within the Research, Evidence, and Learning Framework of the International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) WAVE – Women’s Action for Voice and Empowerment program. Through the Women’s Leadership Pathways (WLP) research project, novice researchers in local NGOs and grassroots organizations that were WAVE partners in five countries carried out research with technical assistance from two consultants whose role was to facilitate the research process and provide capacity-building support.

Through this Gender Café, the two consultants and one or more of the civil society research partners would like to share some of their reflections and hear from others who have experience with similar research partnerships. We hope this will lead to discussion of shared learning and, potentially, guidance that may be useful for the development of future collaborative, feminist research processes.
