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.

Event Description

Este 2020, la pandemia de COVID-19 ha enfrentado los procesos de construcción de paz en América Latina se han enfrentado a una situación sin precedentes. Con la imposición de medidas como el distanciamiento físico y el traslado de diversas actividades a la virtualidad, las personas y organizaciones dedicadas a la construcción de paz en la región han tenido que recurrir a la creatividad para garantizar que su trabajo se mantenga en pie y, al mismo tiempo, se salvaguarde la salud e integridad de las y los beneficiarios. Con una brecha digital innegable, una desigualdad inocultable y un historial de represión del gobierno hacia sus comunidades agrícolas e indígenas, quienes construimos paz en la región hemos tenido que echar mano de diferentes herramientas para llegar a todas las partes involucradas en conflictos que van desde la disputa de tierra y territorio hasta rencillas ideológicas desatadas, y alimentadas, por la misma pandemia. Desde Argentina, Guatemala y México, este panel plantea algunas de las medidas tomadas al tiempo que se pregunta cómo fortalecer sus planes y proyectos de construcción de paz en la región ante un panorama por demás incierto.
