Improve Data & Accountability
“What cannot be measured cannot be managed. If we do not gather the data we need, we will never know if we are delivering on our promises,” – UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Achieving progress for girls and women requires accurate, gender disaggregated data to help policy makers, civil society organizations, and advocates make informed decisions about policies and programs that affect the lives of girls and women. If we do not understand the reality in the communities we work, we can’t identify the best solutions. It's that simple. And it's that important.
But data is about more than numbers. It's about real girls and women. And it's about making sure every life is counted.
We must make a more deliberate effort to collect gender data and effectively use it to hold governments and organizations accountable to the commitments they've made to advance gender equality.
Girls and women count - now let's be sure they are counted! This month, the Deliver for Good campaign explores stories and solutions for improving data and accountability to advance gender equality.
