Entry point 7: Data collection and monitoring systems
Gender-responsive indicators and sex-disaggregated data offer valuable information for NBSAP planning, monitoring, and reporting. Countries are encouraged to set indicators around women’s involvement in biodiversity decision-making in their NBSAPs and collect, assess, and report sex-disaggregated data on these indicators. These data can help countries identify gaps in the engagement of men and women in NBSAP planning, monitoring, and reporting and guide the development of equitable solutions.

Gender-responsive indicators
Gender-responsive indicators and the collection of related sex-disaggregated data can reflect the contribution of both women and men to biodiversity conservation, protection, and sustainable management. Indicators can be associated with monitoring activities during NBSAP implementation. Once relevant gender-responsive indicators are established, countries can collect and apply sex-disaggregated data, and any other information on gender, to assess gaps between women and men and make sure that these indicators are met. These actions help to ensure that the knowledge of women is captured and used, and can advance on early steps taken in Entry Point 3 on women’s knowledge.

Monitoring systems
Parties should develop and implement relevant monitoring systems to compile sex-disaggregated data, collecting both quantitative and qualitative information. Data sources may include national statistics, online databases and reports, surveys, key informant interviews, focus group interviews, and one-on-one in-depth interviews. The IUCN Gender and Environment Information portal also provides more guidance on how to collect and use of sex-disaggregated data.

Questions to consider
Questions to ask during the development and implementation of NBSAPs and other nature-related strategies
- Are gender-responsive indicators developed and included in the NBSAP?
- Is gender equality considered in the monitoring plans for the NBSAP?
- Are women, girls, and women’s groups involved and consulted in the data collection process?
- Is data collected at times and places that are convenient to women?
- Who is responsible for the data and who has access to it?
- If the country has collected sex-disaggregated data in previous CBD reporting cycles, are there any lessons learned that should be considered when preparing new NBSAPs and National Reports?
- How does sex-disaggregated data impact NBSAP decision-making?
