Key issues and challenges for gender inclusive African national statistical systems and capacity building
2006
Alfred Latigo
Economic Commission for Africa
In close consultation with the the UNECA and the UNSD a meeting was held in Cape Town, South Africa, entitled the "2006 Africa symposium on statistical development: the 2010 round of population and housing censuses". The meeting in Cape Town considered a number of presentations.
Why gender inclusive African statistical system?
-
Emerging macroeconomic analysis on Africa shows that gender inequality acts as a constraint to growth and poverty reduction.
-
The analysis also shows that Africa has unexploited hidden growth reserves residing in potential partnership between governments and households, especially the women in the households.
-
And that gender inequality in access to a wide range of economic, human and social capital assets remains a core dimension of poverty in Africa.
-
However, understanding the nature of these disparities for effective policy action is constrained by lack of GDD.
