Abstract

With a focus on Anglophone African countries, which are the Africa Open Data Network (AODN)’s priority countries within the Open Data for Development (OD4D) Network, this study assessed the availability of data on websites of national statistics offices, government ministries/ departments/agencies and multilateral agencies. They were analyzed along three domains; data availability, sex disaggregation and openness. Social protection and land rights are key facets of development for gender equality. These are areas where inequality persists, making a case for governments to ensure data is monitored and disaggregated by sex.
