Using Big Data in evaluation of gender-related work

[Serdar Bayryyev]

Dear Colleagues,

If anyone is interested to know if and how the Big Data could be used for evaluation,  you may wish to review the findings on this subject presented in the recent study undertaken by the UN Women. This study was commissioned to investigate the feasibility of leveraging big data sources – particularly Twitter, Facebook and radio data – to improve the evaluation of gender equality and women’s empowerment initiatives. 

The study is accessible via this link: http://www.unwomen.org/-/media/headquarters/attachments/sections/li...

Kind regards,
