Synopsis (short abstract) This guidance document examines existing gender data gaps in agriculture, sources of data that have emerged recently to address these gaps, as well as analysis and indicators that can be developed. Specifically, this guidance document emphasizes the need to address gender data gaps in agriculture through nationally-representative household and/or agricultural surveys that rely on individual-level data collection, that can be used to inform regional and/or national policies. This document also discusses recent changes to national individual level surveys to fill some of these gaps; in particular, much of this progress has been focused in Sub-Saharan African countries, and as a result most of country examples presented in the document come from this region.

    This technical report presents a case study based on the use of a small area estimation (SAE) approach to produce disaggregated estimates of SDG Indicator 5.a.1 by sex and at granular sub-national level. In particular, after introducing the framework for using SAE techniques, the report discusses a possible model-based technique to integrate a household or agricultural survey measuring the indicator of interest with census microdata, in order to borrow strength from a more comprehensive data source and produce estimates of higher quality. The discussed estimation approach could also be extended or customized for the integration of survey data with alternative data sources, such as administrative records, and/or geospatial information, and for the disaggregation of other (SDG) indicators based on survey microdata.
