Tracking Progress on Gender Equality through Data

By Thai Huynh Phuong Lan

The GEM platform is developed by a team of gender and GIS specialists in SEI. Researchers, policy makers, development practitioners can use the Platform to get a baseline data for tracking gender inequality from 1995 to 2018. This is an essential input and a starting point to evidence-based policy and designing future projects, as well as allowing for further exploration of the causes of gender inequality.

However, currently, the GEM website is lacking targeted data related to water, wetlands and other natural resources management issues in the Delta and elsewhere across the Mekong Basin, due to apparent lack of available data at national and subnational level. Hence, our project (BRIMOFOT) will be a potentially useful piece of locally contextualised research, that will fill in knowledge gaps around gender inequality in water and wetlands management and impediments to greater participation of women in key institutions, in An Giang province of Vietnam and Takeo province of Cambodia.
