Global Gender Gap Report - 2025 June - by the World Economic Forum  ISBN-13: 978-2-940631-89-6 https://reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GGGR_2025.pdf The report and an interactive data platform are available at https://www.weforum.org/publications/ gender-gap-report-2025/. The Global Gender Gap Index, a benchmark established in 2006, systematically tracks gender parity across four key dimensions (subindexes): Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. The 2025 report indicates a global gender gap closure of 68.8%. Among the 148 countries covered in this year's index, the Health and Survival gap has closed by an impressive 96.2%, and the Educational Attainment gap by 95.1%. However, substantial disparities remain in Economic Participation and Opportunity, which has closed by only 61.0%, and particularly in Political Empowerment, with just 22.9% closed. While this represents ongoing progress, the current trajectory...

A PRACTICAL FIELD CHECKLIST FOR DATA COLLECTION IN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS

Image
To support stronger MEARL practices in complex and often unpredictable field settings, I  am  resharing this practical checklist. It  is  a simple yet valuable tool I created to help teams quickly reflect, adapt, and respond more effectively on the ground. This checklist is part of the whole package I developed, which also includes a detailed guide on common field-level challenges and practical strategies to address them. If you  are  interested in exploring more, I  have  included the link below. https://hnineilwinnotes.blogspot.com/2025/04/data-quality-in-emergencies-field-level.html Hnin Ei Lwin #Monitoring   #Evaluation   #Reporting   #Research   #MEARL #social   #development   #humanitarian   #publichealth  

MY APPROACH TO RESEARCH AND M&E: BLENDING QUALITATIVE DEPTH WITH QUANTITATIVE PRECISION

Image
In my research and M&E work, I blend qualitative and quantitative approaches to deeply understand social issues. While I have recently focused on qualitative data for its rich and nuanced insights (which demands strong interpersonal skills throughout collection, analysis, and reporting for reliability and clear communication), I also equally value quantitative data. I believe it is essential for validating findings and continuously sharpening my analytical abilities to better reveal the stories hidden in the numbers. This week, therefore, I want to briefly share my quantitative data analysis toolkit. My Quantitative Data Analysis Toolkit : From Data Collection to Communication I rely on specific tools to effectively collect, analyze, and share data, turning raw information into clear and impactful insights. Excel: This is my go-to for quick data cleaning, sorting, and initial entry, especially for smaller datasets. I use it for early summaries, visualization...
