You are helping shape the Policymakers’ Edition of Gender Data Futures: A Handbook on Transformative Data Governance —  a reimagined version of the Handbook originally developed by Pollicy, crafted specifically for your community.

Through a collaborative “translation” process, we’ll turn the original handbook into a more concise, accessible, and action-oriented resource, one that makes the gender transformative approach a practical and powerful tool for policymaking in the data governance space.

Your First Task – CEP Consultation
You will participate in a two-part CEP consultation to help us understand how the handbook can better serve policymakers and other stakeholder groups.

1. Review the CEP Handbook

Purpose: Assess clarity, usability and relevance for your context.

What to do:

• Read the handbook from a user perspective.
  
• Flag excerpts/words/expressions that feel unclear, too dense, or difficult to navigate.
  
• Note terms or ideas that could be simplified or reframed.
  
• Share reflections such as: What felt easy or intuitive? Where did you struggle? Was the format readable or text-heavy?
  

Optional but helpful:

• Highlight missing content or gaps we should consider.
  

2. Analyse the Table of Contents

Purpose: Help shape a learning journey that fits policymakers’ needs.

What to do:

• Review the Table of Contents on its own.
  
• Identify sections most relevant to policymaking.
  
• Rearrange or prioritise them to create a clearer, step-by-step learning flow (think of this as designing the reading/learning pathway, not just selecting content).
