Disaster Management QUESTION #6562
Question 1
What makes gender-disaggregated data collection essential for effective DRR rather than just good practice?
  • International requirements
  • It reveals differential vulnerabilities, capacities, and needs that would otherwise remain invisible, enabling targeted and effective interventions✔️
  • Statistical completeness
  • Donor expectations
Correct Answer Explanation
Section 13.1 emphasizes gender-disaggregated data to identify specific vulnerabilities. Without disaggregated data, DRR interventions risk being designed for 'average' populations, missing critical gender-specific vulnerabilities (GBV risks, caregiving burdens, resource access) that require targeted responses.
