CONCEPT NOTE <\/strong>Inequality has\nincreased in most if not all countries of the world over the last few decades.\nThis trend was accelerated by the 2008 fiscal crisis, as gains since the\nrecovery have accrued almost entirely to the most advantaged sectors. Experts\nranging from the Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights to the\nhead of the world\u2019s largest hedge fund have labeled inequality as a serious\nglobal crisis and warned of growing instability. Importantly, the 2030 Agenda\nincludes SDG 10\u2014”to reduce inequality within and among countries.\u201d As with\nall goals, it is essential that appropriate measures are used to ensure\naccountability for progress and that these measures are based on a thorough\nunderstanding of the nature of inequalities.<\/p>

Statistical data are\navailable to show such things as the income and wealth gaps between quintiles\nat the national level; still other data express inequalities in terms of health\nconditions and outcomes, such as gaps in life expectancy, infant mortality,\nnutritional status, access to water and sanitation, and more. But beyond these\nmacro level indicators, how is inequality actually experienced on the ground?\nAnd how can we assess whether countries are successfully addressing Goal 10 in\nways that are improving living conditions in communities? <\/p>

The Grassroots Task\nForce of the NGO Committee for Social Development has conducted a survey of\nlocally based, community level workers and residents to collect data on how\ninequalities are experienced at the grassroots level. The survey collected\ninput on the nature of inequalities, population groups that are most affected\nby inequalities, and government and other initiatives to address inequalities.\nWe hope to identify good practices that can be replicated in other locales and\nin government policies. The survey instrument was circulated in 6 languages in\nan attempt to increase responses from diverse countries. <\/p>

The side event will\nshare selected findings from the survey and the sharing of stories from the\nground: <\/p>
