The report Bridging the Gap: Mapping Gender Data Availability in Asia and the Pacific traces the availability and quality of data for 98 gender-relevant indicators across key domains such as health, education, economic empowerment, political participation, human security, and environment. The study covering five countries uses a combined set of 32 SDG indicators identified by UN Women as gender-relevant, 59 SDG indicators identified by Open Data Watch as being capable of sex-disaggregation or of other gender relevance, and 7 indicators suggested by the UN Women’s publication Turning Promises into Action (2018).

As all five of the countries in this study have made commitments to improved gender policies supported by data by ratifying the Convention on the Elimination on All forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) (United Nations 1979), the Policy Reports examine policies adopted by the study countries to promote gender equality and improve the status of women and ask whether there are data available to guide their policies and monitor outcomes.
