PARIS21 has partnered with national statistical offices and national gender machinery through four dedicated case studies on gender data use in policy making that explore the determinants of gender data use at the country-level. The studies aim to better understand data use in practice, exploring the role of gender data in specific policy making contexts.

While financing for data and statistics appears to continue its trend of stagnation in 2022, the configuration of donors and modalities is increasingly complex. Traditional donors continued to work under budget constrained conditions, and new donors - notably from the private sector - are increasing their funding. However, this is not a like-for-like exchange and the implications for countries who are seeking to strengthen and reinforce their statistical systems and increase their data production are not yet understood.

Aunque la financiación de datos y estadísticas parece continuar su tendencia al estancamiento en 2022, la configuración de donantes y modalidades es cada vez más compleja. Los donantes tradicionales siguen trabajando en condiciones de restricción presupuestaria, y los nuevos donantes -sobre todo del sector privado- están aumentando su financiación. Sin embargo, no se trata de un intercambio similar y aún no se comprenden las implicaciones para los países que pretenden fortalecer y reforzar sus sistemas estadísticos y aumentar su producción de datos.

Alors que les financements alloués aux données et aux statistiques semblent continuer de stagner en 2022, leur nature et les bailleurs associés sont eux de plus en plus complexe. Les donateurs traditionnels ont continué à oeuvrer dans un contexte de contraintes budgétaires, et de nouveaux donateurs - notamment du secteur privé - augmentent quant à eux leur financement. Toutefois, il ne s'agit pas d'un remplacement des bailleurs habituels à l'identique, et il reste à déterminer quelles seront les implications pour les pays qui cherchent à renforcer leurs systèmes statistiques et à augmenter leur production de données.

This profile explores the climate change data ecosystem in Belize, detailing the foundations for the system, main stakeholders as well as strengths and weaknesses. The profile makes recommendations on how Belizecan further improve its system.

This profile explores the climate change data ecosystem in Grenada, detailing the foundations for the system, main stakeholders as well as strengths and weaknesses. The profile makes recommendations on how Grenada can further improve its system.

This country profile highlights the basis for climate change data collection in Lao PDR, detailing the strengths and weaknesses of the system, as well as to what extent data supply meets demand. The profile makes recommendations on how Lao PDR can further strengthen its climate change data ecosystem.

Gender statistics and indicators provide an evidence base to develop and monitor policies and programmes oriented towards reducing gender inequality. However, the availability and accessibility of gender statistics can only truly help advance gender equality where this gender data is taken up and used to drive meaningful policy change. Until recently very little was known about the role of gender statistics and gender data in policy making in the Maldives. To address this knowledge gap, in 2023, MBS and MSFD partnered with PARIS21 to implement a joint study exploring the barriers and enablers of gender data use in policy making in the Maldives.

Over the past five years, PARIS21 and UN Women have collaborated to respond to the need for more and better gender data. This collaboration has involved specific efforts to integrate gender into national statistical planning and programming. To address the critical question of how diverse investments in gender data translate into meaningful change for women and girls, PARIS21 and UN Women are introducing the Gender Data Outlook (GDO), that will assess countries' levels of statistical maturity using the new global framework and corresponding overall measure for gender data capacity.

Au cours des cinq dernières années, PARIS21 et ONU Femmes ont collaboré pour répondre au besoin de données de genre plus nombreuses et de meilleure qualité. Cette collaboration s'est traduite par des efforts spécifiques visant à intégrer le genre dans la planification et la programmation statistiques nationales. Afin d'aborder la question cruciale de savoir comment les divers investissements dans les données de genre se traduisent par un changement concret pour les femmes et les filles, PARIS21 et ONU Femmes lancent les Perspectives relatives aux données sur le genre, qui évalueront le niveau de maturité statistique des pays à l'aide du nouveau cadre mondial et de la mesure globale correspondante des capacités en matière de données de genre.
