Overview

• The Global Gender Statistics Programme

• The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

– IAEG-GS exercise to identify gender relevant indicators and assess data availability

Global Gender Statistics Programme

SDG indicators

• Global Indicators for “follow up and review” of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

• ‘Agreed’ by the Statistical Commission in March 2016

• To be endorsed by ECOSOC and GA

• Global indicators identified by the Inter-agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goals Indicators (IAEG-SDGs members=28 Member States)

• SDGs framework: 17 Goals, 169 Targets, 230 indicators

– Around 1/3 gender relevant; http://unstats.un.org/unsd/statcom/47th-session/documents/2016-2-IAEG-SDGs-Rev1-E.pdf

UNSD: Gender relevant SDGs

• 12 out of 17 Goals contain targets and indicators with a gender dimension.

UNSD: SDG indicators

230 SDG indicators*

73 gender relevant indicators **

48 indicators explicitly to be disaggregated by

sex

* 7 duplicates and 2 triplicates; ** 1 indicator is repeated 3 times under different goals

• list of 73 SDG indicators which are relevant for gender analysis.

– 48 where sex disaggregation is included in the indicator text

– 25 where the indicator is relevant for gender analysis

• UNSD compiled an initial list, seeking IAEG-GS inputs to

– (a) determine which indicators are gender relevant; and

– (b) how many countries have data for gender-analysis.

• Number of countries with data since 2010.

Data Availability Assessment current exercise: 23 May – 3 June

Starting point for the exercise

• World’s Women 2015

• Minimum Set of Gender Indicators

• Responses to a questionnaire on data availability and methodology for the SDGs to establish a tier system for the indicators.

Starting point for the exercise (2)

indicators where data availability is

known

needs IAEG-GS

clarification

• Measurability of some targets – Current indicators set selected to ensure “political balance,

integration and ambition of Agenda” is preserved

=> Complexity of the agenda (multidimensional goals + targets) and indicators to monitor (technically sound) = refinement of some indicators

Challenges/Opportunities

• Availability of data to establish baselines for SDG indicators – => assessment of data gaps + strategy/work plan to strengthen

statistical country capacity and data availability

• Lack of statistical definitions, concepts/standards for new

areas of concern – => Development of statistical methods

• “No one left behind” – Need for data disaggregation according to age, sex, income, race,

migratory status, disability, geographic location….(when relevant)

=> Development of new standards; Better linkages/integration among data sources; Better use of existing and additional data sources (e.g. geospatial information; administrative records);

Challenges/Opportunities (cont.)

• Global monitoring vs. National monitoring – Potential source of discrepancies between the two sets of statistics

– => improve reporting mechanisms within National Statistical Systems (NSS) and between NSSs and international level; use of country-level data for global estimates; clear metadata disseminated and explaining eventual discrepancies;

Conclusions

• Gender equality and empowerment of women “at the center” of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Agenda!

• National and international statistical communities together with key stakeholders to ensure evidence is available to follow-up and review progress towards SDGs

• Additional resources will be needed at all levels and significant investments including on capacity building
