Overview
This supplement supports big data pilots and partnership building activities of Data2X, a project to improve global gender data by connecting gender experts with large producers of data and organizations that establish data standards. With this grant, Data2X would expand its capacity as a coordinating body and platform for the execution of each of its six gender data partnerships, ranging from improved civil registration and vital statistics to better measurement of work and labor force participation. The Data2X secretariat, hosted at the United Nation Foundation, will technically guide and administer the work, which is intended to improve the availability, quality, and use of gender data for decision-making, as a part of the post-2015 framework and beyond.

Grants to this Grantee
for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is uniquely suited to help states deliver on historic opportunities for bold climate action and maximize the potential of the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This grant will support states as they harness new federal resources, creating in-house secretariat capacity to provide technical, policy, and communications assistance to states, at scale, and deliver critical flexible funding.

for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors representing 24 states, with more than 60% of U.S. GDP, 55% of the U.S. population, and 40% of U.S. emissions. These governors are committed to driving the nation’s ambitious climate agenda by working in partnership with each other, the federal government, and the international community. The alliance has an important role to play in implementation of federal climate investment laws by supporting state engagement with federal agencies, supporting the development of state decarbonization plans, and supporting effective deployment of federal dollars to drive decarbonization and community economic development.
