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
Over the past 3-4 decades, North-South cooperation in the ‘aid’ or philanthropy sectors has been an important focus for evaluation; much less so South-South, North-North or triangular cooperation. Despite some recent shifts, significant differences remain between the ‘Global South’ and ‘Global North’. Yet these distinct parts of the world are interconnected, with interdependent development trajectories of their communities, societies, countries and regions. This presents Blue Marble evaluators – and all those who work across such societies and their ecosystems – with important challenges that are surprisingly difficult yet crucial to address. Evaluation specialists tend to pay only superficial attention to the assumptions and biases inherent in the different worldviews and experiences on which we base the frameworks and models against which we evaluate. Dominant narratives – usually from the North - influence our mindsets so that we do not see the potential in less conventional approaches to ‘development’ and ‘transformation’. Fortunately, we live in an era where success stories from the South based on novel ways of working, including using complexity concepts, are growing in number. This provides the field of evaluation with new opportunities to be relevant and useful.
This webinar will highlight, with examples, three major issues related to North-South and South-South dynamics, and consider what these mean for the mindsets and competencies with which we commission and do evaluation. Several Blue Marble Evaluation principles will inform the discussion.
Presenter: Zenda Offir
