1. Enhanced Capacity of National Statistical Systems:

The JP will significantly improve the technical and operational capacities of national statistical offices in the pilot countries. This includes training and support in advanced data collection, analysis, and dissemination techniques. The enhanced capacity will ensure the systematic collection and use of high-quality gender data, enabling better monitoring and reporting on SDG 5 indicators.

2. Increased Availability and Accessibility of Gender Data:

The programme will lead to a substantial increase in the availability and accessibility of gender-disaggregated data. By developing and implementing standardized methodologies for gender data collection, the JP will fill critical data gaps, particularly in under-reported areas such as gender-based violence, unpaid care work, and women's economic participation. The improved data availability will support evidence-based policy-making and advocacy for gender equality. Strengthening SDG data will serve as a catalyst, creating a multiplier effect that enhances the collection of disaggregated data sets across other SDGs.

This improved data framework will unlock the potential for more detailed and comprehensive insights, driving progress in multiple areas simultaneously.

3. Institutionalization of Gender Data Practices:

The JP will ensure the institutionalization of gender data collection and analysis within national statistical frameworks. By integrating these practices into national policies and development plans, and securing long-term financial commitments from respective governments, the programme will make gender data systems a permanent and standard part of national statistical operations.

This institutionalization will sustain the positive impacts of the JP beyond its initial implementation period, driving ongoing progress towards gender equality.
