Publish gender-disaggregated open data (UA0100)

Among other things, good governance involves taking into account the results of gender equality assessments and relevant indicators when analysing social processes and the effectiveness of socio-economic and cultural development management. 37 However, in the practice of assessing social processes and the effectiveness of implementing reforms and drawing up strategic documents and regulations, there is no or extremely segmented use of indicators for assessing gender equality, mainly due to the lack of a system of gender-sensitive statistical indicators for individual industries/spheres, and for statistics based on key indicators. Statistics on key indicators provided by public authorities is mainly broken down by gender. Despite this fact, due to the practices of using different methodologies and different meta-data, such statistics are generally not directly comparable and do not reflect complete or detailed basic information on women's and men's participation in society. The lack of comprehensive gender-disaggregated data in open access precludes planning, managing, and monitoring socio-economic and cultural development processes that takes into account the needs of women and men and existing gender gaps. Accomplishing this task allows citizens, civil society institutions, scientists, and other stakeholders to access gender-disaggregated data, in particular, from the state electronic registers, which will help raise awareness in Ukrainian society about the impact of gender factors on society and on various spheres of social life, the formation of gender gaps, and the opportunities and benefits of addressing gender issues and ensuring equality between women and men. It will also make it possible to take into account relevant data and indicators when analysing all social processes, increase the efficiency of socio-economic and cultural development management, and promote the formulation and implementation of effective and human-oriented state policy.

Action Plan Review

Commitment 14: Ensuring open access to gender-disaggregated data

Results Report

Commitment 14. Ensuring open access to gender-disaggregated data

The commitment aimed to ensure access to gender-disaggregated data from state registers.

The Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers discussed the commitment with the Government Commissioner for Gender Policy, the Ministry of Social Policy, the State Statistics Service, civil society, and international organizations. [118] Upon review of their datasets and registers, government agencies did not identify a need for new regulations or amendments in this area. [119]

In the action plan period, the State Statistical Service introduced a gender disaggregation feature for statistical data on legal persons, reflecting the number of men and women registered as founders of legal organizations. The State Statistical Service also provided recommendations on data collection for other state agencies, including on disaggregation of data by gender where applicable. [120] However, because state agencies have several registries under their jurisdiction, there is a need to ensure that all relevant data holders collect and publish gender-disaggregated data. In 2023, after the implementation period, the Ministry of Digital Transformation started work on a case study on gender aspects in open data, which will provide a basis for further implementation of the commitment.
