This document explains the relationship between gender, development and statistics and makes the case for gender-related data. It also outlines some of the typical challenges faced and recommends solutions. Mainstream gender in statistics is the main part of the handbook, and provides practical guidance on changing current methods of data collection, analysis and dissemination, to ensure that the information produced accurately reflects the lives of women and men, and girls and boys. It also explains how policies could be introduced to achieve gender equality. It includes examples and case studies from around the region. It focuses on the actions to be taken at the regional and national levels. It also provides a basis for developing a practical and achievable work plan for mainstreaming gender in the collection, production and dissemination of statistics.
