Key conclusions from Equality for Women…
Conclusions of chapter 2—see p. 79 Expanded set of indicators adds information (and value)
Rapid progress in expanding women’s capabilities, with some notable exceptions:
o Enrolment rates, completion rates, literacy are success stories
o Less progress on under five mortality, adolescent pregnancy and teenage births
Comparison of country performance to regional benchmarks is quite useful
World Bank efforts to improve gender statistics and indicators
New/improved Bank publications and data sets:
New GenderStats database and website
Little Data Book on Gender (forthcoming)
Update of gender indicators database associated with2007 Global Monitoring Report
Improve the quality of gender-disaggregated
indicators: Develop modules for household surveys to better
measure assets owned by women
Pilot-test different approaches to capture female labor force participation in labor force and household surveys
Increase national and international agency capacity to collect, report, analyze and use gender-disaggregated data:
Provide technical assistance to improve existing national surveys
Support data collection by national statistics offices on formal and informal employment in selected countries (joint with UNSD)
Support global gender statistics networks
A results monitoring and evaluation framework has been prepared
A baseline portfolio review is being completed
A GAP mid-term evaluation will be completed in 2009 to review the overall direction, framework, strategies and processes used to implement the GAP
A final evaluation will be conducted after the GAP is completed (2011).
