Gender-equality programming – the information gap
Efforts in Yemen in 2014 are an example of good practices. The commitment and leadership from the Humanitarian Country Team and OCHA, and the deployment of a GenCap Adviser resulted in a systematic increase in gender-responsive projects. Preliminary estimates for 2014 indicate that 83 per cent of projects have a gender component. In addition, the Country Team commissioned the development of a tool to support the collection of cluster-specific sex- and age-disaggregated data. Despite these advances, more efforts are needed to systematize the use of available data.
