  23. Module 2Gender-sensitive indicators, MDGs & monitoring policy development, planning and implementation Facilitator Lorraine Corner, UNIFEM 14:25 – 17:00

  24. Gender-sensitive indicatorsGroup Work Instructions – 30 minutes 14:25 – 14:55 • Form country groups • Select a new Chair and a new reporter Discuss in 30 minutes: • What do you understand by the term “indicators”? • What makes an indicator “gender-sensitive”? • Are your country’s localized MDG indicators gender-sensitive? • If yes, why? • If no, why not? 4. Summarise your discussion on a Flip Chart for gallery viewing

  25. Synthesis & Presentation on Indicators Lorraine Corner 14:55 – 15:15

  26. What is an indicator? • Context-specific - clearly defined target • Relevant to a specific policy or programme objective - eg. Content of PRS • Measurable – Quantitative – Qualitative • Shows progress toward some objective • Interpretation is clear – eg VAW • Clearly defined source & institutional mechanism for collection & reporting – mandate & responsibility, meta data • MUST BE USED – By whom? For what? What does it mean?

  27. What makes an indicator gender-sensitive? • Gender equality is an objective, either as an instrument or as a value in itself • Identifies gender inequalities & gaps – comparing situation of women and men • Where related to individuals, data must be disaggregated by sex & other relevant variables • Gender-responsive indicators may relate to differences in roles, resources, power, norms & values

  28. Coffee Break15:15 – 15:40

  29. Cambodian Partnership on Mainstreaming Gender in the CMDGs and PRSP The World Bank

  30. All the goals have gender implicationsEg. Goal 1: eliminate poverty • Poverty measured by household, need to analyse intra-household resource allocation. • According to the poverty assessments, women headed households are not worse off than male headed households. • Incidence of child labour among children aged 14-17 years by household head. • Alternative indicator of poverty among women headed households, who use child labour as a coping strategy to supplement household incomes. Child labour in women headed households UNIFEM E&SEARO

  31. Analyse the links between indicatorsWomenin the Agriculture Sector: in the fields and the office UNIFEM E&SEARO

  32. MDG3 needs to be adapted to reflect country priorities Waged employment by industry UNIFEM E&SEARO

  33. Lessons learned • Engendering integrated into MDG localisation process • Localised MDGs embedded in national policy (PRSP) from the start. • explore alternative gender indicators: • MDG3 does not mean that MDG framework is engendered: all goals have gender implications • MDG3 needs to be adapted to fully reflect national context and priorities • gender perspective requires more than sex disaggregated data • Examine links between indicators: eg agriculture • Use quantitative and qualitative data, range of sources (violence) UNIFEM E&SEARO

For what purpose? How? • Is the indicator gender sensitive? • How might it be used to promote gender-responsive implementation of the PRS? • Each group to prepare a flip chart to share their ideas with other groups
