Assessment of Data Availability
of Gender Indicators in MDGs
IAEG Meeting on Gender and MDGs

Background
1995: Beijing Platform for Action

Generate and disseminate genderdisaggregated data and information for
planning and evaluation

“Ensure that statistics related to individuals are
collected, compiled, analysed and presented by
sex and age and reflect problems, issues and
questions related to women and men in society”
Concerns
•
Slow progress in the development of gender statistics at
the national and hence international levels
•
Sex disaggregated data is the exception rather than the
rule
•
Official sex and age disaggregated statistics limited to
the min set of indicators and available for basic sociodemographic topics
•
Not available for specific and detailed issues
•
Not official for emerging gender issues (violence, time
use, crime statistics)
Gender & MDGs

Gender equality and empowerment of
women –G3 is at the core of all the
MDGs

A gender-aware national MDG report:

broaden the scope of accountability on
women’s rights and give greater public
visibility to efforts made to achieve
gender equality

Catalyze gender-responsive policy-making
and programming

Facilitate more optimal resource allocation

A platform for partnerships between national
governments and civil societies committed to
women’s rights

Allows diverse actors in development to
reach a common agenda and deploy
resources where they are most needed

Recommendations

To strengthen reporting on all Goals :

Collection and reporting on sex-disaggregated
data including vulnerable groups (landless
agriculture workers, racial and ethnic minorities,
disabled, single-parent hh, people in conflict
areas)

Localizing and contextualizing targets and
indicators at the sub-national level

Cross-reference with other goals and highlight
connections btw them

Conducting data mining and assessing
availability of sex-disaggregated data from the
national databases to include wider range of
priority issues and highlight specific aspects of
women’s issues and implications for gender
equality

Identify main obstacles to achieving goals and
closing gender gaps

Use of qualitative data, including from micro
studies at community level, to highlight content
and quality of education, health system, etc..

Reporting on costing exercises and
budgetary allocations for government
programme interventions
