Gender and Indicators: Overview Report

‘Gender and Indicators: Overview Report’ examines conceptual and methodological approaches to gender and measurements of change with a focus on indicators. The report also examines current debates and good practice from the grassroots to the international levels. It recommends among other things, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods be considered by all government organisations, from international agencies through to grassroots organisations, in order to crosscheck results and to generate a richer understanding of the data. It also recommends that the development of specific context-relevant gender-sensitive indicators and the use of underreporting on those indicators should be made obligatory within international development agencies, governments and grassroots organisations.
