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.

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, Global Fund for Children has approved $232,000 in emergency grants for 85 partners. Our community-leaders are pivoting and providing coronavirus relief efforts within their communities globally.


On Wednesday, June 3rd at 10AM EST, GFC’s Youth Leadership Council invites you to hear directly from four GFC community-led partners ​​from Kenya, India, Mexico, and Moldova.

Together, we will get a real and authentic look into the impact on children, youth, and communities created by this global pandemic — and learn how community-led organizations are being impacted, and what their on-going relief efforts look like.

Meet our speakers:

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, our Youth Leadership Council (YLC) wants to let you know — we’re in this together. This global conversation will create a space for our partners and supporters to connect and come together, so that ultimately, all children and youth feel safe, strong, and valued.
