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
About the Workshop:
In this workshop, you will learn a new approach to scaling the social and environmental impacts of programs, policies, products, and investments. The approach is based on the book Scaling Impact: Innovation for the Public Good written by Robert McClean and John Gargani, and it is grounded in their collaborations with social innovators in the Global South. The workshop goes beyond the book, reflecting the authors’ most recent thinking, and challenges participants to adopt a new scaling mindset. Dr. Gargani will introduce participants to the core concepts of the book, then participants will work in small groups to complete hands-on exercises drawn from their professional settings. The workshop is intended as an introduction, and participants will be provided with free resources to continue their learning.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
◾ Define two critical concepts—impact and scaling.
◾ Know the difference between increasing operational scale and scaling impact.
◾ Understand common terms and strategies for scaling.
◾ Apply four principles of successful scaling.
◾ Identify the risks posed by scaling and know how to address them.
◾ Understand that scaling poses new challenges for evaluators.
◾ Apply the dynamic evaluation systems model to their work.
◾ Develop an inclusive evaluation plan that supports successful scaling.
