Are there any specific data needs or dataset or indicators that you want collected or have planned?
Is there any sample data collected in one country that you want expanded to others?
Yes, there are specific data needs that we have identified and that the World Bank, with others, will focus on addressing. Following the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals UNDP led a global consultative process, in which the World Bank participated, that resulted in consensus on the highest priorities for addressing the LGBTI data gaps. These priorities all fall within 5 categories: political and civic participation; personal security and violence; economic wellbeing; health; and education. The World Bank will now lead, with UNDP, the second part of this global consultative process which will focus on arriving at consensus on the most important/relevant indicators under each of those 5 priority areas. Once identified, these indicators will be foundational for new research and data collection efforts on the lives of LGBTI people. As well, the World Bank has a particular interest in new data collection efforts as relates to education, as well as economic opportunity.
