The Data2X was created in 2012 by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton. Data2X collaborates with technical experts, policy and private sector advisors, and national and international partners to spur a gender data revolution.
Data2X, named for the power women have to multiply progress in their societies, advances gender equality and women’s empowerment by building partnerships to improve data collection and demonstrating how better data on the status of women and girls can guide policy, leverage investments, and inform global development agendas.
Since its launch in 2012, Data2X, powered by the United Nations Foundation, has served as a platform to identify gender data gaps and generate partnerships to address them. As an initial step, Data2X identified 28 gaps in global sex-disaggregated data across five domains: health, education, economic opportunities, political participation, and human security.
Data2X announced new partnerships for better data to understand and improve the lives of the world’s women and girls at an event with Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Michael R. Bloomberg, Chelsea Clinton and other key partners.
