We have to move beyond the lip service
of gender mainstreaming, into concrete
actions...It is important to place well-
defined, convention-specific strategies
on gender with achievable indicators
and objectives and to support
governments in their efforts to
implement and comply with the gender
provisions of the Conventions.
Christiana Figueres, UNFCCC Executive
Secretary
Moving Beyond Lip Service

Too often, development efforts have
been hampered by a lack of the most
basic data about the social and
economic circumstances in which
people live... Stronger monitoring and
evaluation at all levels, and in all
processes of development (from
planning to implementation) will help
guide decision making, update priorities
and ensure accountability

The Purpose of the EGI
• Monitor implementation of global
agreements
• Promote transparency and
accountability
• Expand access to environmental
information
• Increase aid effectiveness
• Demonstrate that measurement is
possible

Core Questions
Are governments integrating gender in
their environmental efforts?
Are the conditions favorable for women
to be actively involved in environmental
decision-making?
But our main task became….
• Searching for Data
• Filling data gaps
• Identifying proxies

Methodology
• Expert Panel of 33 members
• Existing high quality data sets
• Creating new data sets to fill data
gaps
• Developing a composite index • Country list
• A methodological framework
• Index-ready data
• Weighting scheme
