Measurement and evaluation are essential for monitoring progress, identifying gaps and challenges, ensuring accountability, and informing policy and practice to promote gender equality in sports.

While prize money is an important issue related to gender equality in sports, it is not typically used as an indicator for measuring progress. The other options are all commonly used indicators.

Evaluation findings can be used to inform policy and practice in a variety of ways, including identifying effective strategies, justifying resource allocation, and developing targeted interventions.

There are a number of challenges to measuring and evaluating gender equality in sports, including the lack of data on women's sports, the difficulty in defining and measuring gender equality, and resistance from stakeholders to being evaluated.

Stakeholders, including sports organizations, governments, media, and sponsors, have a critical role to play in promoting gender equality in sports by supporting policies and initiatives, challenging stereotypes and biases, and creating opportunities for women and girls to participate in sports.
