Good Practices for Integrating Gender Equality and Human Rights in Evaluation Good practices for integrating gender equality and human rights in evaluation Working Group on Gender Equality and Human Rights Cover Photo: Joseph Barnes/ImpactReady Foreword Photo: Pathumporn Thongking/UN Women Foreword The UNEG Working Group on Gender Equality and Human Rights has been working to support UNEG members to enhance integration of gender equality and human rights in evaluation systems and practice. We have now reached a point where many good practices are being employed across UNEG members and this publication on Good Practices for Integrating Gender Equality and Human Rights in Evaluation is an effort to capture these and facilitate learning. This publication on Good Practices was designed to provide a snapshot of the good practice and point readers to the evaluation report for more information. The guide identifies 17 good practices from 12 UNEG members representing a variety of UN organizations (i.e. Secretariat, Funds and Programmes, etc.). Although this guide does not capture all the good practices being employed by UNEG Prepared for the UNEG Working Group members, it is a useful tool for raising on Gender Equality and Human Rights awareness on different approaches and will hopefully contribute to a common April 2017 understanding on how to integrate gender equality and human rights in evaluation Designed and written by practice within the UN system and beyond Joseph Barnes – particularly important in the context of ImpactReady LLP achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

  • The IPU Resolution on Women's and Children's Health
    The IPU Resolution on Women’s and Children’s Health: An Initial Framework for Accountability Reporting INTER-PARLIAMENTARY UNION Executive summary This report highlights the results from the first review of parliamentary efforts in implementing the IPU resolution of April 2012: ‘Access to health as a basic right: The role of parliaments in addressing key challenges to securing the health of women and children.’ It is based on the evidence shared by a small group of randomly selected parliaments and organizations to provide an overview of the type of actions being taken by parliaments, and to establish a process for future reporting on the implementation of the IPU resolution. Although the survey sample is small, it is representative of a significant group of parliaments and provides an indication of opinions and general trends. Participating parliaments were mostly drawn from Africa where maternal and child death rates are highest, but also from other regions, including those from two developed countries. They were Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Sweden, Uganda, Zimbabwe, the East African Legislative Assembly and the Pan-African Parliament. The survey asked 40 questions about parliamentary activity on Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (MNCH) in key areas such as Political will, Awareness, Representation/Advocacy, Oversight, Legislation and Budget. The questions drilled down into topics such as determinants of health, gender equality, and accessibility and quality of health services. The efforts of participating parliaments were considered in relation to Photo: © UNICEF/RWAA2011-00386/Shehzad Noorani the commitments detailed in the IPU resolution.

  • Environmental Justice in Kenya: a Critical Analysis
    ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN KENYA: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS by MAUREEN K NDETHIU Submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of MASTER OF LAWS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR M BEUKES FEBRUARY 2018 DECLARATION Student Number: 3508-052-3 I, MAUREEN K NDETHIU, declare that ‘ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN KENYA: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS’ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. 2018-02-27 Signature……………………………… Date..................................... Ndethiu M K i ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN KENYA: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS Environmental justice, a new but rapidly developing concept in international environmental law, arose in the United States of America during the Environmental Justice Movement of the late 1970s and 1980s. It starkly highlighted injustices faced by people of colour and low-income communities as regards racially skewed environmental legal protection and allocation of environmental risks. The movement radically changed the meaning of ‘environment’ from its conventional green overtones to include issues of social justice at the core of environmental thinking. I critically examine the concept of environmental justice in the Kenyan context by highlighting the injustices, and the formulation and application of laws and policies that significantly impact on environmental regulation and equitable distribution of social services. ii KEY TERMS Modern environmentalism; international environmental law; environmental principles; anthropocentrism; sustainable development; environmental justice; United States of America (USA); vulnerable and marginalised persons; human rights. iii DEDICATION To Leon and Lynn, may the achievement in this work give you a headlight to see a world of possibilities in everything you set your hearts and minds to do and to the reformists, who place their lives and families on the line so that those on the margins of society can live in dignity, justice, and hope for brighter days.

Today it’s a lifeboat for intrepid journalists determined to navigate those waters. Operating with modest resources and a relatively small crew, the Center, in the past nine years, has assembled an impressive log of journalistic and educational achievements despite the declining number of news organizations with dedicated foreign news staffs. A non-profit started with a small grant from the family whose name is synonymous with quality journalism, the Pulitzer Center solicits donations from foundations and generous individuals and converts the money into small grants for journalists working exclusively on international stories across a variety of media platforms. David Boardman, dean of the School of Media and Communications at Temple University and former editor of the Seattle Times, thinks Pulitzer’s impact equals that of major foundations such as the John L. and James Knight Foundation, one of the nation’s largest funders of journalism projects.
