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.

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.

Event Description

Member States created 21 targets across 12 SDGS with an accelerated 2020 timeline. These targets all have strong links with the rest of the Agenda, so meaningful progress in the 2020 targets will advance the Agenda as a whole; at the same time, durable success in the 2020 targets will be possible only with achievements across the SDGs. As the global community prepares to take stock of progress across the 2030 Agenda at the High Level Political Forum(HLPF), these targets that fall due in 2020 merit specific attention.

The webinar will provide information, in a series of mini panels and presentations by custodian agencies and other champions, on the state of individual 2020 targets and plans for accelerating implementation.

REGISTER BY 3 JULY 2020!
