GLOBAL CENTRE OF
EXCELLENCE ON GENDER
STATISTICS AT A GLANCE
The Global Centre of Excellence on Gender Statistics (CEGS) contributes towards gender equality and women’s empowerment by helping to close the gender data gap. Gender data and statistics are key to understanding the context of social, economic, political and cultural inequalities between men and women, and to inform the development of solutions and policies. The CEGS is a pioneering initiative that aims to strengthen gender statistics through collaboration, knowledge sharing, research and innovation, with the final goal of achieving equality between men and women.
