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 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.

Michael Scriven will then add his own reflections on his evaluation journey as well as offer priorities for the future. This webinar will be the climactic culmination of the 2021 legacy series, a crescendo of reflections synthesizing more than 150 years of evaluation experience represented by the Scriven/Patton/Donaldson triad.

Sorry Ritu,

I apparently counted the time difference wrong in the Michael Scriven event and it will hopefully take place at 10 PM Finnish time and not at 8.AM as I thought.

Dear Ritu,

I tried to enter the Michael Scriven webinar but could not and ZOOMN announced that it is scheduled at 10 PM on 14.12.2021??? Why was that? I was very very disappointed. I wonder if it would be possible to get the tape or stream of that event?
