Global Gender Statistics Programme Mandated by the UN Statistical Commission Coordinated by the Inter-agency and Expert Group on Gender Statistics IAEG-GS Goal: To enhance the capacity of countries to collect, disseminate and use reliable statistics and indicators to assess the relative situation of women and men in gender-sensitive, policy-relevant areas Implemented by the UN Statistics Division/key partners

Programme areas and objectives International Coordination Objective: Improve global coherence Methods Objective: Promote methodological developments Capacity-Building Objective: Build technical capacity Data Management & Dissemination Objective: Improve access to data and materials

1. International Coordination Improving coordination and synergies among existing initiatives on gender statistics IAEG-GS Global Forums 1st Rome, Dec 2007 2nd Accra, Jan 2009 -Since 2007 -International, regional and national agencies -Annual meetings, 8th meeting in 2014 -UNSD secretariat 3rd Manila, Oct 2010 4th Dead Sea, Mar 2012 The IAEG-GS comprises representatives of the gender statistics programmes of international, regional and national institutions.

Through its coordination activities, it also promotes closer integration of global and regional initiatives and ensures that efforts are not duplicated. 5th Aguascalientes, Nov 2014

Minimum Set of Gender Indicators @ unstats.un.org/unsd/gender/data United Nations Statistics Division

Minimum Set of Gender Indicators Internationally-agreed indicators to monitor gender equality and women’s empowerment (IAEG-GS 2011 and UN Statistical Commission 2013) Gender indicators (52) Gender indicators related to national norms (11) Five domains Economic structures, participation in productive activities and access to resources Education Health and related services Human rights of women and the girl child Public life and decision-making

Organization of indicators in Tiers Indicators conceptually clear, with an agreed international definition and regularly produced by countries Tier I  International data compilation Indicators conceptually clear, with an agreed international definition, but not yet regularly produced by countries Tier II  Promoting capacity building activities Tier-I: 35 Tier-II: 10 Tier-III: 7 To Improve access to data and materials The minimum set covers 5 domains: I. Economic structures and access to resources; II. Education ; III. Health and related services ; IV. Public life and decision-making ; V. Human rights of women and girl children as well as norms. Indicators are divided into three tiers: Tier 1 indicators are indicators for which definitions are clear and the data are routinely collected (e.g. education) Tier 2 indicators are indicators for which the definitions are clear but the data are not routinely collected (e.g. violence against women) Tier 3 indicators are those for which the definitions are not clear and the data are not routinely collected. In March 2012, the IAEG reviewed the list of indicators and agreed that: For Tier 1 indicators, a mechanism will be established for the international agencies to regularly provide data and metadata to UNSD. Efforts will be made to promote capacity-building activities to expand the data coverage of indicators in Tier 2. Small groups will be established to undertake methodological work on indicators in Tier 3 and emerging issues (including through EDGE). Indicators for which international standards need still to be developed and not regularly produced by countries Tier III  Methodological developments – e.g., EDGE project
