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.

Event Description

Join MEASURE Evaluation on Tuesday, August 13, at 9 am EDT for a one-hour webinar providing an overview of the orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) indicator matrix. The matrix is used to:
  • Guide OVC program stakeholders to measure what matters and to consider repurposing or selecting new or custom indicators that better inform project performance
  • Provide sample indicators that can be used to measure how OVC projects are contributing to the global 95-95-95 targets and prevention and mitigation goals
  • Demonstrate relationships among PEPFAR’s reporting requirements
The matrix consists of 12 tables, each of which focuses on a key project objective and contains a set of foundational, process, output, and outcome indicators that can be used to measure progress in achieving the respective objective.
The companion guidance manual introduces the matrix—explaining its purpose and how it can be used. It describes the process that may be followed for selecting indicators from the matrix and adapting and operationalizing them.
