#Data2x: A Progress Report and Agenda for the Future

Data2X  is a partnership Hillary launched  in July 2012 to identify gender data gaps and spur efforts to fill them. Better gender data are needed to guide policies, set targets, and monitor progress for women and girls. Today's event brought together leading experts for a discussion on the vital role data plays in closing gender gaps, and how lack of data can inhibit progress for women and girls globally. Hosted by Michael Bloomberg in New York, the event was a team effort sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies , the Clinton Foundation represented by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, and the United Nations Foundation represented by President and CEO Kathy Calvin.
