Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa
Evaluation of UN Women's work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa - Evaluation Report
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.

Are you new to the field of evaluation? Are you wondering what it’s all about? Will you be commissioning an evaluation? This course will demystify the evaluation journey and explore the choices, roles and challenges that evaluators must navigate in the real world. Join us for a two module course designed to help explore the world of evaluation practice. Case studies, exercises and small group conversations will help participants learn how to clarify interventions, identify beneficiaries, gather data, discuss results, and develop recommendations, all the while fostering a reflective, ethical and culturally sensitive evaluation practice.
The Being an Evaluator course is delivered in two virtual, instructor-led modules. Classes will take place online via Adobe Connect or Zoom. Certificates of completion will be provided at the end of the course to all participants who have successfully completed the modules. Read more about each of the modules below.
Module 1: Evaluation 101
February 24, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. EDT
In this first module we will review monitoring and evaluation terminology, distinguish between evaluation and research, sort out the problem statement, recognizing its importance in the whole evaluation journey, and think about stakeholders, who they are and why they matter? We will explore the difference between facts and assumptions, look at methods of inquiry and think about what it means to have credible data, credible evidence, and credible evaluations. We will wrap up by illustrating how to make an intervention evaluable by linking a problem statement with an intervention and results. Participants will explore how to break down results so that they are assessable and measurable and recognize the importance of having a program logic model and theory of change be explicit and go hand in hand.
Module 2: The Maze of Evaluation Choices
February 25, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. EDT
This module will start with reviewing a program’s theory of change and exploring how to identify what to assess and when. Through an interactive activity, participants will walk through a sample evaluation design. We will consider how to engage with values, and values are embedded in every aspect of the evaluative process, and how participants in the process can have different values. We will talk about the multitude of choices that an evaluator must make to provide the most accurate, feasible, credible and useful evaluation to specific users, at that time, for that intervention, in that context, and with those resources. We will wrap up by learning about evaluation reports and think about how to provide specific and actionable recommendations. Don’t be surprised if you learn some evaluation trade secrets along the way!
