Training on Monitoring Gender Outcomes and Impacts Using Gender Data Platform

Gender equality is central to achieving inclusive and sustainable development. However, without reliable gender-disaggregated data, organizations and governments cannot effectively track progress or design responsive interventions. This course equips participants with practical knowledge and skills to use Gender Data Platforms for monitoring, analyzing, and reporting gender outcomes and impacts. Participants will explore key indicators, tools, and methodologies for gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation (M&E), while also learning to apply gender data to inform policy, program design, and accountability frameworks.
