Challenges Data exists
Poor coordination between data-producing agencies resulting in gaps indata collection, limited data comparability, and duplication of effort.
Lack of consultation between data producers and users leading to limitedunderstanding of users needs and the extent data provided meet those
needs.
Obstacles to collecting gender-related data such as cultural issues, civilunrest (in some countries), employing trained enumerators, and reaching
remote communities.
Lack of gender-specific indicators on poverty, inequality in economicopportunities, informal sector, governance, stereotyping, violence, impact of
conflict, access to assets, services and state subsidies, etc.
