- Data gaps: G20 countries have low reporting rates, limiting knowledge of effective gender-sensitive measures.
- Needs holistic approach: Guidance for countries to integrate gender in trade facilitation, data collection, and policy-making.

G20 Recommendations
| Recommendation Category | Prioritized Actions |
|---|---|
| Domestic Actions | Mandate gender focal points in NTFCs; enhance women representation in trade committees; dedicate gender tools (e.g., GEOAT). |
| Data & Best Practices | Commit to sharing gender-disaggregated data and case studies from trade initiatives; complete UN TFS datasets. |
| FTAs & Cooperation | Insert gender chapters in future FTAs; conduct joint GBA+ / SIA reviews; propose a shared G20 commitment on gender in trade. |
| Thematic Integration | Include women's trade under inclusive trade in G20 communiqués and TIWG meetings. |
Key Challenges
- Disparities in survey reporting mechanisms and verification processes.
- Gender remains a secondary focus in trade policy relative to development priorities not specifically tied to cross-border trade.
Note
These actions aim to leverage G20's global trade position to make trade more inclusive and champion sustainable development.
