About The Summit
Building on the momentum of our 2024 debut, this year’s Summit will spotlight evidence, success stories, and innovations driving better access to sustainable gender data in Africa. From researchers to policymakers, we’re bringing together diverse voices to share ideas, inspire action, and accelerate progress toward closing gender data gaps.
Why This Matters
Without accurate data on women and girls, progress in Africa cannot be fully measured—or achieved. Inclusive gender data is essential for tracking national commitments, shaping equitable policies, and strengthening the political, social, and economic agency of women and girls across the continent.
