Speaking at the opening session of a today regional workshop on gender statistics in Addis Ababa today, the Director of the African Centre for Statistics, Mr. Ben Kirergyera, explained that “gender responsive” or “gender sensitive” data is got by mainstreaming gender issues and concerns in the statistical value chain that begins with determining what data to produce and used especially in for policy and decision-making. Kirergyera said that although gender advocates have achieved a great deal sensitizing policy and decision-makers to become more gender sensitive, a lot remains to be done to have data producers see the need for mainstreaming gender issues in statistical programmes and activities. This, he said, explains what he called yawning gaps on gender statistics in many African countries.
