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.

Gender Equity and Inclusiveness in Volunteer Networks
Greetings to everyone here!
Wishing on this auspicious International Women's Day. Good to know that the Government of Telangana has declared holiday for the women on 8th March 2021. Same should resonate in other states soon.
Pleased to initiate the discussion on the topic "Gender Equity and Inclusiveness in Volunteer Networks". Though this topic have been deliberated earlier and not new to many. However, we all can delve into the following aspects and lean from each other; Honestly, I have these thoughts to learn and implement.
1. Designing a governance structure with gender equity and inclusiveness approach in a Volunteer Network. Focus on the "Design Thinking" aspects while designing.
2. Creating a professional volunteer network with gender balance and ample opportunities for the young, experienced and experts associating with the network. Focus on creating the right "Work Balance", learning and development.
3. Multi-tasking attitude of women, keeps them doing better and better. Focus on "Switch off and Switch on" mode form work with great professional balance, we all should learn.
4. SDG5-Gender Equality brining in gender equity and inclusiveness, to bridge the existing gaps in a country like India or similar nature. Focus on "Immediate Gaps that can be Bridged".
Encourage everyone to participate. Critics are welcome too.
