WATCH: Recording

Join us for a webinar to explore the highlights from the new flagship report, Gender Data Outlook (GDO), developed by UN Women and PARIS21. We will discuss key findings on gender data capacities across countries and examine trends emerging from the report's cross-country analysis. Participants are encouraged to engage in an interactive discussion on these insights and what they mean for advancing gender data capacity for more and better data-driven solutions towards gender equality.

Concept note

About the Highlights Brief

The Gender Data Outlook 2024: At a Glance is a highlights brief summarizing the key findings of the forthcoming full report. It introduces a novel approach to measuring gender data capacity across countries along four dimensions: 1) an enabling environment; 2) production; 3) accessibility; and 4) use. The GDO is unique in that it covers the full gender data value chain, emphasizing data use as the primary purpose of data production, and underlining the need to shift the focus from the collection or processing of gender data towards its ultimate impact.

The GDO Index, covering the first three dimensions, documents how countries vary in their capacity to plan for and produce gender data and make it accessible to the public, identifying the factors that underpin and drive these differing capacities. The fourth dimension, use, seeks to connect production, accessibility of data to tangible change by evaluating the uptake and use of gender data.

The full report and complete analysis will be released in November 2024 on the margins of the 5th UN World Data Forum (UNWDF).
