How to Paper 1 (click title to download): How to run a participatory dashboard workshop using the AGEE (Accountability for Gender Equality in Education) Framework

Through a reflective process of consultation and discussion over three years we have agreed indicators for a cross national AGEE dashboard using the six domains of the AGEE Framework. Discussions are ongoing on national dashboards and local dashboards in a number of countries. We have longlists of candidate indicators and the data that underpins these which can help inform discussion.

This How to guide draws on our experience of organising AGEE consultative meetings in a range of settings and explains how to organise an AGEE dashboard workshop. The guide can be used in planning meetings to discuss accountability and indicators for:

• National AGEE dashboards linked to work on an Education Sector Plans (ESPs) or other national accountability processes
• Neighbourhood dashboards using the AGEE Framework for diagnostic or monitoring work with a school or group of schools in a neighbourhood or district
• Project dashboards using the AGEE Framework for diagnostic or monitoring work with a project, eg. working on girls’ education or children out of school
• Higher education institute (HEI) dashboards using the AGEE Framework for diagnostic or monitoring work with a HEI or a group of HEIs
• Reflecting on gender and education needs and accountability processes with mobile or displaced populations, including with teachers, community representatives and youth.

This is not an exhaustive list of all the groups who might find the AGEE Framework useful, but is an indication of how the Framework can be used to develop a dashboard of indicators for measuring gender equality and education. 

This How to guide has developed out of the work of the AGEE (Accountability for Gender Equality in Education) project funded by ESRC under grants ES/P005675/1 and ES/V001086, from 2018-2023. It is the first in a series of ‘How to…’ guides we will produce.
