Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.

Strengthened production of gender statistics to enable the monitoring of national policies and reporting commitments under the SDGs
Significant progress was made towards the achievement of outcome 1.3 in 2022. Specifically, the High Commission for Planning has greater capacity to produce gender statistics, and policymakers and advocates for gender data have access to studies and data collection techniques which both provide current gender statistics and inform future gender statistics production. This strengthens stakeholder capacity to monitor national policies and reporting commitments under the SDGs. The production of gender statistics improved as a result of several key changes (i) the High Commission for Planning (HCP) data producers a increased their capacities and gender statistics knowledge and (ii) public policymakers and advocates accessed innovative studies and analysis which included gender-sensitive, evidence-based data to inform efforts to reduce persistent gender gaps, particularly in the area of women's economic empowerment. In 2022, UNW Morocco CO significantly contributed to these results by providing capacity building and technical support. For instance, the CO organized the first workshop of a series capacity building trainings aiming at reinforcing the gender knowledge and analytical competencies of data producers. Furthermore, the HCP developed a satellite account on unpaid household activities with UN Women support. This groundbreaking data collection in Morocco and the MENA region quantified and valued the unpaid work performed by Moroccan households and highlighted women's participation in activities not covered by national accounts. Gender-sensitive data presented in this satellite account will enable the monitoring of public policies and will be used as evidence to initiate advocacy actions to promote women's economic empowerment and inclusion. The HCP also conducted an analysis of the dynamics and evolution of social norms and relationships between women and men within Moroccan households with UN Women technical support. This innovative analysis measured the division of household chores while identifying (i) the evolution and constraints that affect the division of time spent on domestic work vs. time spent at work, and (iii) issues that need to be addressed to improve women’s economic inclusion. Moreover, The HCP conducted a study aiming at estimating the economic and social opportunity costs of rural women's economic empowerment and producing Gender-relevant SDG indicators. UN Women supported this study, expected to be completed by Q2 of 2023.Disclaimer and notes
