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 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
Dear colleagues,
Asking sensitive questions on surveys is often key to gathering necessary insights on some research topics. Given the nature of these questions, however, respondents may feel uncomfortable and reluctant to respond accurately. To overcome this and ensure quality data, there is a wide range of recommended methods, including self-administered questionnaires. In a recent prevalence study, funded by The Global Fund to End Modern Slavery (GFEMS) and implemented by the ICF, researchers used Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI) in SurveyCTO to determine the proportion of children (ages 12 – 17) in households who have been sexually exploited for commercial gain in the region of Karamoja, Uganda. ACASI helped to minimize the social desirability bias in the responses provided for these sensitive topics.
Please join us for this live webinar where guest presenters from GFEMS and ICF will share lessons learned from implementing ACASI surveys in modern slavery studies:
Title - Learn how GFEMS and ICF are using Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI) in modern slavery studies to reduce social desirability bias
Date - Wednesday, November 3, 2021, at 9 AM EST/ 1 PM UTC
Registration link - https://www.surveycto.com/events/gfems-icf-acasi-webinar/
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Directly from ICF and GFEMS about the process behind their study of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) in Karamoja, Uganda
- How to create an Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI) module of your own using SurveyCTO
- How to tailor ACASI modules to specific users, like children or people with low technology literacy
- Challenges and lessons ICF and GFEMS experienced while implementing their study in Uganda
Attendees will gain valuable guidance on using ACASI in SurveyCTO for various use cases, and most especially, sensitive survey topics for vulnerable respondents. You can learn more about the GFEMS Uganda project here: https://www.surveycto.com/case-studies/gfems-acasi-survey/
