Data2X

Data2X is a civil society organization and gender data alliance, working with partners to improve the production and use of gender data through strategic partnerships, research, advocacy, and communications.

Data2X works towards three strategic outcomes:

• Improving gender data investment: Data2X advocates for the investments required to fill gender data gaps. This includes tracking patterns of gender data investment, guiding and supporting public sector partners to evaluate and articulate their gender data investment needs, and assisting with donor coordination and collaboration.
• Improving access to gender data and encouraging its use: Over the past ten years, Data2X has helped our partners generate and make high-quality gender data openly available. We will continue our work to ensure that data is easily accessible and used by scientists, advocates, and decision-makers.
• Catalyzing demand for gender data: While gender data is now recognized as a global development priority, there is still relatively low demand by policymakers for gender data. Data2X catalyzes demand and promotes mutual accountability for gender data by sharing best practices and lessons learned in advocacy and policy implementation, by strengthening the visibility and capacity of gender data champions and tracking gender data commitments.
