Gender Contextualization
IMI-SDG6 is currently developing approaches for the ‘gender contextualization’ of the SDG 6 global indicators to support gender-relevant, evidence-based policymaking in countries.
The work on gender contextualisation began in June 2021 and will continue to the end of 2022, after which a set of tools and approaches will be included in country-level capacity building activities in 2022 and subsequent years.
More information can be found in UN-Water (2021) UN-Water (2021) Promoting Gender-sensitive and Inclusive Analysis of Water and Sanitation Data.
To support this important work, a group of gender experts has been convened to provide input and feedback on the work and draft outputs of IMI-SDG6. The group members have significant practical experience on gender issues, either at project, national or global level, as well as additional expertise on the gender-and-water nexus, gender data/monitoring or gender and other SDGs linked to water.
