Are there any best practices that you would like to share regarding gender-sensitive data collection, analysis and reporting at the organizational level?

A gender-sensitive approach to data collection, analysis and reporting refers to who collects the data, how are the participants engaged (particularly women and girls and marginalized men and boys), where and how the data are collected. Gender-sensitive data collection is particularly important for international development planning, formulation and implementation of transformative policies at the organizational, national, regional and global levels.

How do you think policy making on decent work can promote the incorporation of a gender based analysis and international education approach?

The social, cultural, economic, political and ecological development of Jamaica and other Caribbean countries are highly contingent on the promotion of gender equity and internationalization of education as crucial precursors to achieving decent work. Quality education and decent work are the cornerstones of national and regional development (Abdullahi et al, 2022).
