Unveiled at the Reykjavik Global Forum for Women Leaders, the new fellowship will provide a cohort of data journalists in both countries with Tableau’s industry-leading analytics platform, training, mentoring, and access to EM2030’s data and tools including the SDG Gender Index data.
Combining access to data with a full continuum of learning on data analysis and visualisation, and connections to local gender equality advocates, will enable these new data journalists to produce stories and content that drive change for women and girls.
“EM2030’s own SDG Gender Index data shows that women continue to be under-represented online and in STEM fields. Supporting women data journalists to build skills and break barriers will help to ensure data is used to drive action on gender equality,” said Alison Holder, Director of Equal Measures 2030.

In addition to the data journalism fellowship, Tableau Foundation is joining EM2030’s network of leading regional and global organizations, bringing together civil society, development and the private sector. The coalition works with grassroots women’s organizations to connect data and evidence with advocacy and action to ensure governments deliver on the promise of gender equality by 2030. Tableau Foundation is a philanthropic, employee-led initiative from Tableau Software, a Salesforce company.
Fellowship participants will use EM2030’s data and tools including the SDG Gender Index data as a use case to develop data storytelling capabilities. Programme participants will have access to Tableau training, mentorship, and software to produce stories and influential content that drive change for women and girls.
