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.

Event Description

Dear colleagues,
We are happy to announce the second #EvidenceDialogues webinar on Women's economic empowerment and its interactions with social and personal empowerment. As reflected in the SDGs, women's economic empowerment is considered a dominant path to achieving gender equality. However, women’s empowerment is multifaceted and includes personal and social empowerment as well. So, how do these other dimensions of women's empowerment interact with economic empowerment? What is the theory of change that links personal, social, and economic empowerment, and how can it be leveraged to achieve meaningful change? This panel will bring together stakeholders committed to women's economic empowerment to share their experience and learnings
