By improving the quality, comprehensiveness, availability, and use of gender data, Data2X seeks to produce more complete and accurate insights into the lives of women and girls — an essential element for achievement of gender equality at national and global levels. The initiative raises awareness about the importance of gender data; engages in policy advocacy to increase resources and focus them on priority data gaps; and facilitates partnerships among data funders, producers of data, and technical experts in gender and development. Data2X plays a special role in improving gender-sensitive information for economic policymaking by hosting a technical partnership focused on measurement of unpaid work.
