Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa
Evaluation of UN Women's work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa - Evaluation Report
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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice
Tara Prasad Gnyawali Article - 2025
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.

Evaluation theories and practice used in South Asia are heavily dependent on North-based worldviews, values and paradigms. Despite the impressive growth in knowledge assets, evaluation capacities and democratic engagement in South Asia – what, how and for whom evaluation takes place largely ignores local knowledge, philosophies and realities.
The Community of Evaluators-South Asia, with support from EvalPartners, the global partnership to strengthen national evaluation capacities, and funding from the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour of the United States Department for State for 2018-2019, implemented the Project, Mobilising South Asian Local Knowledge to Democratise Evaluation Theory and Practice. Studies of local knowledge from South Asian countries were presented at a workshop held in Sri Lanka in July, 2019. The workshop discussed the ‘local wisdom’ in relation to evaluation theory and practice. The workshop noted that when we move into our communities as people-centered evaluators we are open to local wisdom, to understanding context and culture, and being able – through our evaluations – to represent people’s realities well. This is at the core of humanizing evaluation.
The webinar, facilitated by Dr. Sonal Zaveri (Vice President, Community of Evaluators-South Asia) will present the key findings from the studies conducted in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan. The presenters will be Prof. Hafiza Khatun and Prof. Md. Humayun Kabir (Bangladesh), Dr. Chandra Bhadra (Nepal), Dr. Phuntsho Choden (Bhutan), Dr. Keerthi Mohotti (Sri Lanka), Dr. Shyam Singh (India) and Dr. Dev Pathak (India). The pressentations will be followed by discussions.
