Measuring What Matters: Unlocking Data for Gender Equality
Pierre De Boisséson, Economist, Gender Programme, OECD Development Centre
Lauren Harrison, Policy Analyst and Team Lead, Data Ecosystems & Inclusion, PARIS21
Annette Griessel, Deputy Director General, National Planning Coordination, Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, South Africa
Renata Spada, Group Talent Director / Head of Fifty-Fifty Programme, ENGIE

Moderated by Bathylle Missika, Head of Division, Networks, Partnerships and Gender, OECD Development Centre
Whether by a private company, an international NGO, a national or local government, or a philanthropic organisation, the effectiveness of efforts to address gender inequality cannot be monitored or evaluated if solid data is not available. Areas of intersection, such as the disproportionate effect of the COVID-19 or climate crises on women, are woefully understudied and undercounted, meaning that targeted interventions cannot be designed. Likewise, long term cause and effect such as discriminatory social institutions or the impact of infertility on national GDP cannot be analysed without consistent and accurate access to open gender data. More and better gender data can lead to better solutions and improve accountability; solutions that have the power to unlock $3 trillion in economic potential across the global economy.
This DEVTalk will bring together experts and private sector and government representatives, to discuss why the lack of data about women’s lives and livelihoods around the world persists despite recent efforts and a global recognition of the importance of the issue. They will explore what can be done to increase awareness, prioritisation, and support from multilateral partnerships to unlock the potential of gender data for the COVID-19 recovery and beyond.
