Development of the Gender Statistics Profiles is anchored in the Beijing Platform for Action, which underscores the need for gender analysis as one of the critical starting point for Gender Mainstreaming. The main objectives of compiling the Gender Statistics Profile were to establish the level of awareness of gender issues and concerns within the Ministry; Generate gender responsive indicators for the sector; Repackage information to enhance availability and use of gender statistics by various stakeholders and Build skills of the Gender Focal Persons to generate gender responsive statistics. The profile provides a contemporary overview of gender and development concerns; as well as gender differentials in access, participation and use of services in the sectors.
