Notes:

Indicator E.1 is a regional indicator adapted from SDG 5.c.1 “Proportion of countries with systems to track and make public allocations for gender equality and women’s empowerment and allocate public funds for that purpose, to reflect the situation of each country vis-à-vis the institutions and the resources used to follow-up systems to monitor gender equality and women’s empowerment. UN-Women presented concepts related to public finance management systems that incorporate gender equality, together with characteristics of public allocations and expenditures that make it possible to monitor gender equality.
