Handbook on the Arab Gender Indicator Framework 2023
January 2024
The Handbook on the Arab Gender Indicator Framework 2023 aims to support countries in producing and disseminating comparable gender indicators to forge a common understanding among stakeholders on ways to produce quantitative monitoring and reporting on Sustainable Development Goals and other key development indicators, highlighting priority gender issues in the region and the need for gender-sensitive measurements in Arab countries.
The Handbook aligns with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its core objective of "leaving no one behind" and offers a framework for 115 indicators that cover priority areas in the Arab region and are linked to strategic objectives outlined in the Beijing Platform for Action. The Handbook provides an assessment of data availability and metadata resources to produce and disseminate comparable official statistics in line with the United Nations Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics. Therefore, it serves as a useful information guide for statisticians, policymakers and other stakeholders.
