Abstract

With a focus on Anglophone African countries, this report examines the availability and openness of gendered data. These are priority countries for Africa Open Data Network (AODN) within the Open Data for Development (OD4D) Network. The study assessed availability of data on the websites of national statistics offices, government ministries/ departments/agencies and multilateral agencies. Gender inequalities persist, setting the African continent back an average of $US95 billion a year in economic gains. Data illustrates how gender inequality manifests itself, the areas in which there has been progress, and those from which to draw lessons.
