This toolkit is designed to support national statistical offices in their efforts to increase the understanding and use of gender statistics by government officials and other users. The toolkit was developed primarily for countries in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia, but may be adapted for use in any country.
The toolkit can be used by gender statistics focal points and others to run training sessions to increase statistical literacy and awareness of the importance of gender in statistics, which should strengthen evidence-based policymaking.
The materials may be downloaded and adapted – for instance, by replacing the illustrative examples with national data, or by making reference to national sources and organizations. Please cite UNECE when adapting these materials for use in your own workshops or publications.
The toolkit is available in English and Russian.
The development and testing of the toolkit was funded from the United Nations Development Account.
