Data is an essential asset for economic policy making and service delivery. Yet gender biases in data governance systems perpetuate inequality and exclusion. A gender, transformative approach confronts root causes, harmful norms, power imbalances, and structural barriers ensuring women, girls and gender diverse people benefit from the data ecosystem. This handbook offers eight strategic goals and specific actions to strengthen gender integration across the data governance cycle, aligned with the AU Agenda 2063, the AU data policy framework, the Maputo protocol and other continental gender mandates.
