Introduction

In today’s data-driven economy, integrating gender perspectives into big data analytics is essential for achieving inclusive development, equity-driven decision-making, and evidence-based policy design. Gender and Big Data Training Course explores how gender-disaggregated data, AI ethics, machine learning fairness, and data governance frameworks can transform institutions and organizations. Participants will gain practical insights into addressing algorithmic bias, improving data inclusivity, and leveraging digital transformation to promote gender equality across sectors.

As organizations increasingly rely on predictive analytics, data mining, and AI-powered systems, there is a critical need to ensure that these technologies do not reinforce existing inequalities. This training equips participants with tools to analyze gender gaps in data ecosystems, apply ethical AI principles, and design gender-responsive data strategies. Through real-world case studies, participants will learn how to harness big data innovations for social impact, policy reform, and sustainable development goals (SDGs).
