The Workshop on Using Statistics for Gender-Responsive
Policy Analysis and Advocacy was jointly organized
by the Statistics Division of the United Nations
Economic and Social Commission for Asia and
the Pacific (UNESCAP) and the United Nations
Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).
The purpose of the workshop was to show
how gender statistics and indicators can facilitate
effective policy making. Participants
would increase their understanding of effective
data presentation as well as the data required
for policy making and advocacy. Some hands-on
practice would be given in drafting policy recommendations
and in using statistics as supportive evidence.
By the end of the workshop, it was expected
that the participants from each country would
be able to assist in national training planned
to be carried out by UNIFEM in a second phase.
