Ce document s'appuie à la fois sur les travaux de recherche de PARIS21 consacrés à l’utilisation des données dans l’élaboration des politiques et sur la littérature plus générale relative aux politiques fondées sur des données probantes. Les obstacles et les facteurs favorables à l'utilisation des données identifiés dans le cadre des travaux de PARIS21 concernent toutes les étapes du cycle des données, de leur planification à leur utilisation, en passant par leur production, leur analyse et leur communication. À ce titre, les recommandations formulées dans ce document s'adressent à divers acteurs engagés dans l'élaboration des politiques que dans les cycles de données : instituts nationaux de la statistique (INS), autres ministères et agences gouvernementales, organisations de la société civile (OSC), journalistes, universitaires et partenaires de développement.

The report is the first cross-country analysis developed from PARIS21's novel, collaborative research methodology piloted in Kenya, Rwanda, the Maldives and Dominican Republic between 2023 and 2024, in close collaboration with national statistical offices and national gender machineries. PARIS21 and its country partners assess how gender data are accessed, interpreted, and used in designing and implementing both gender-specific policies and mainstream sectoral policies in areas such as education, climate change, and ICT. The research resulted in numerous successful impact stories being identified.

By documenting these experiences at country level, participating partners have been able to develop actionable, country-specific recommendations to amplify gender data use, validated by national stakeholders working across data and policy-making processes. 

PARIS21's strategy for 2026-30 reflects on progress made to date and considers emerging new challenges facing our partners. This Strategy is designed to better serve and respond to the evolving needs of NSOs specifically and of NSSs more broadly as well as to strengthen the collaboration between the NSSs and the data ecosystem.

This Progress Report documents PARIS21's work and impact with partners over the course of 2024. The report is structured around the five outcome areas of the PARIS21 Results Framework.

This table presents the status of national strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) in International Development Association (IDA) borrower countries, Least Developed Countries, low and lower middle-income countries, and some upper middle-income countries (in order to report on the whole of the African continent). The information shown in the table is for 2023.

This report analyses statistical laws from more than 100 countries and highlights opportunities for gender mainstreaming in statistical legislation. It advocates for a more intentional approach to strengthening the production, accessibility, and overall enabling environment for gender data availability and use. Additionally, the report proposes legal and policy interventions to help governments produce high-quality statistics essential for tracking progress toward gender equality.

This report explores the linkages between increased participation and gender data impact and provides examples of successful partnerships. The report proposes a participation framework to guide and empower governments, civil society actors and development partners in building gender data partnerships that strengthen gender data capacity.

Las estadísticas e indicadores de género proporcionan una base empírica para desarrollar y supervisar políticas y programas orientados a reducir la desigualdad de género. Sin embargo, la disponibilidad y la accesibilidad de las estadísticas de género sólo pueden contribuir realmente al avance de la igualdad de género cuando estos datos se utilizan para impulsar cambios políticos significativos.

This document describes the proposed Programme of Work and Budget (PWB) for the PARIS21 Secretariat in 2025, supporting the ambition of the 2021-2025 Strategy and Results Framework. It is built on extensive consultation with our partners, including through our 2024 Fall Meetings.

This paper examines the evolution of data and statistics since the inception of the Sustainable Development Goals, looking at how the Millennium Development Goals first put the spotlight on the unequal representation of the global population in data, and subsequently the Sustainable Development Goals made improving the quantity, quality and scope of data an urgent priority. The paper then explores the impact of these global development agendas on the production of data and statistics and identifies areas to accelerate progress.
