Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence
The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Summary
The webinar aims to raise public awareness on the rights of persons with disabilities, and the role that evaluation can play in supporting these rights. The illustrative case will be a 2017-18 evaluation, ‘UNDP support to disability Inclusive –development’ that looked globally at programmatic and operational issues. The evaluation has positively influenced UNDP in its decision making, programming, and operational strategies regarding disabilities inclusion, with also wider ramifications.
