How can we understand, identify, and respond to the ongoing challenge of producing policy-relevant data about the lives of women and girls?
Bridging the Gap Latin America and the Caribbean: Key Findings and Recommendations summarizes the findings in the report, Bridging the Gap: Mapping Gender Data Availability in Latin America and the Caribbean. This report builds upon our original Mapping Gender Data Gaps report published in 2014 and our 2019 technical report, Bridging the Gap: Mapping Gender Data Availability in Africa, but with a geographic focus on Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
Through this project, Data2X set out to answer the following questions:
- Which domains of women’s and girls’ lives do we understand well from existing data, and which remain unclear because of lacking or poor quality data?
- What are the sources of available data and where can they be found in national and international databases? What can we learn from these patterns of availability?
- What can we learn from these five countries, including their national policies and programs, about closing systemic gender data gaps?
