This workshop is the third and last in a series of webinars that collectively seek to enhance the capacities of Caribbean countries to produce data to inform effective public policy for gender equality, to ensure no women and girls are left behind. 

The webinar Challenges faced by countries in producing and utilizing gender data seeks to discuss the various challenges countries face when producing and using gender data, as well as opening up a discussion on possible solutions and measures that could be used to tackle such issues. 

The webinar will include presentations by representatives of the National Administrative Department of Statistics from Colombia, the Central Statistics Office of Grenada, and the Department of Education, Innovation and Gender Relations of Saint Lucia, with concluding remarks from ECLAC. The presentations will explore these challenges through both the perspectives of producers and users, allowing for a comprehensive overview of the different barriers that need to be addressed in order to overcome gender data gaps and accelerate the implementation of the SDGs in the Caribbean.
