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.

Hi Emily, 

Absolutely, learning about feminist and ethical AI is a fascinating and important endeavor. It's commendable that you are interested in this field without necessarily focusing on the mathematical aspects.

While mathematical understanding can be beneficial for certain aspects of AI, there are many valuable contributions that can be made without an in-depth mathematical background. By focusing on the ethical and feminist dimensions of AI, you contribute to creating technologies that are not only advanced but also responsible and inclusive.

Really it is very interesting and hope will enjoy everyone!
