UN Women launches flagship programme initiative to collect data about women’s lives.

Building on commitments made in May this year on 21 September, during the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly, UN Women launched a new public-private partnership called “Making Every Woman and Girl Count”.

This 5-year, USD65 million initiative has been set up to close the gender data gaps for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) monitoring and accountability and build an integrated evidence base that can inform more effective and targeted decision-making.
