Assessment of Data Availability of Gender Indicators in MDGs
IAEG Meeting on Gender and MDGsCairo, 10-11 September 2007

ESCWA
Background
1995: Beijing Platform for Action
Generate and disseminate gender-disaggregated 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 socio-demographic topics
• Not available for specific and detailed issues
• Not official for emerging gender issues (violence, time use, crime statistics)
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
Gender & MDGs
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
