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 September 26 at 10am EDT for a one-hour webinar sharing project work on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) measurement for HIV programs. The webinar will be led by MEASURE Evaluation’s Katherine Andrinopoulos and Jennifer Glick from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
A major barrier to improved health and well-being of sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) – people who do not identify as heterosexual or whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth – is the lack of quality health-related data at a global level. Sexual orientation and gender identity are multi-faceted concepts, tied to broader social, cultural, and sexual norms, which makes measuring them with closed-ended questions typical of HIV surveillance and survey research a difficult task.
The purpose of this webinar is to provide recommendations on how to develop closed-ended SOGI questions that are context-specific, meaningful, and respectful to SGM clients, while also fulfilling global data reporting needs for HIV key populations. Participants in this webinar will learn about new resources available through MEASURE Evaluation to assist teams in designing surveys to capture SOGI data, including an online training on foundational SOGI concepts, and a report that outlines a four-step process for designing SOGI questions.
