About The Summit
To achieve gender equality and sustainable development, we need data that accurately reflects the lives of women and girls. The Women in Data Summit brings together policymakers, data experts, and advocates to address the critical challenges and opportunities in gender data.
In Kenya, the decentralization of power to 47 counties under the 2010 Constitution has highlighted the need for robust gender data to inform decisions that impact women and address gender inequalities. However, the lack of such data, inherited from the national government, continues to hinder effective decision-making, risking the creation of policies that overlook the unique needs of women and girls.
