Nepal Gender Thematic Forum
DataShift has convened a series of national dialogues on the state of gender data in Kenya, Argentina, Nepal and Tanzania, with a view to identifying the challenges and opportunities around using citizen-generated data as part of an integrated, multi-stakeholder approach to facilitating engagement, spurring action, and monitoring progress on SDG 5. The Nepal Gender Thematic Forum was a huge success with more than 70 participants from diverse sectors including, governmental and bilateral organisations, academia, media INGOs, NGOs and CSOs.
