Through our work, the Gender Equity Unit provides training materials to strengthen capacity to collect high-quality health data in over 25 low- and middle-income countries; manages the Gender Equity in Health Data hub, an online repository of D4H resources that focuses on mainstreaming equity in health data by improving the collection, use, and dissemination of sex and gender data; tracks country progress towards key indicators using a gender equity data landscape; and builds country partner capacity to integrate gender equity work through training sessions, webinars, mentorship, and technical assistance on data collection, analysis, and policy application.

Since inception in 2021, we have reached hundreds of D4H and other global partners with important information, resources, and training opportunities to help increase understanding of the need for gender data and how to use such data to inform health policy and programming. Our global team works with those collecting and utilizing health data from the community level to the ministry level to mainstream gender equity in their work.

But we are only getting started! There’s more work to be done. Join us as we work to create a new global health data ecosystem that counts and values the lives and experiences of all people.
