Contract partner: OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Country: Entwicklungsländer, unspezifisch Funding amount: € 125.000,00 Project start: 01.01.2018 End: 31.05.2019

Short Description:

Overall goal


The overall objective is to promote progress towards the achievement of gender equality and women’s empowerment, in particular within the framework of the SDGs.


Expected results


1. Comprehensive evidence base on gender equality updated and strengthened, helping governments and civil society to better track and monitor SDG gender targets.

2. Enhanced knowledge-sharing and collaboration amongst regional, national and local actors to support gender equality initiatives.

3. Policymaking to promote gender equality informed by SIGI data, country profiles and research and greater awareness of the role of discriminatory social institutions for the achievement of gender equality and development, including the SDGs.

 


Target group / Beneficiaries


Direct Beneficiaries: 500 Representatives from National statistical agencies, National gender machineries, Women’s rights organisations in the ADC Partner countries of the Westbalcan/Black Sea/South Caucasus Region. The indirect beneficiaries are women and girls in the Black Sea/Caucasus regions and the International development and statistical community.


Activities


Production of SIGI Country profiles, Data Collection for the Gender Institutions and Development Base, Policy Dialogue and Capacity Development, Workshop with regional Stakeholders in the Black Sea, South Caucasus Regions; Dissemination Events including presentation of SIGI 2018 at ADA Headquarters; SIGI Global Report, regional Analysis and Brochure for the Black Sea Region;


Context


Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development poses significant challenges for national stakeholders to collect, track and monitor progress on the ambitious gender equality goals and targets. Significant data gaps persist, with a majority of the SDG 5 targets having no methodology or data sources. In addition, poor co-ordination, dialogue and collaboration between national gender machineries, statistical offices and civil society organisations weakens the efficiency of policy interventions, and decreases opportunities to improve accountability of political commitments to women and girls.
