|Background |
|UN Women was established by GA resolution 64/289 of 2 July 2010 on system-wide coherence, with a mandate to assist Member States and the UN system to |
|progress more effectively and efficiently towards the goal of achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women. Since 2001 UN Women (previously as |
|UNIFEM) in Kyrgyzstan has implemented catalytic initiatives on promoting women’s economic, political and social rights. In 2012, a full UN Women Country |
|Office (CO) was established. |
| |
|The 2030 Agenda has set historic objectives to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, and to leave no one behind. Adequate and timely |
|gender statistics are indispensable to support implementation efforts. However, with less than one-third of the data required to monitor gender-specific |
|Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators available, it is clear that more efforts are needed to achieve these objectives. Harnessing the current |
|momentum and support for effective monitoring of the SDGs and for gender statistics more broadly, UN Women’s Making Every Woman and Girl Count gender |
|statistics programme (MEWGC)[1] aims to stimulate a radical shift in the way quality data and statistics on key aspects of gender equality and women’s |
|empowerment are produced and used. |
| |
|Starting in July 2018, the Kyrgyz Republic has joined the MEWGC programme, thus reiterating the country’s strong commitment to improve the production, |
|accessibility and use of gender statistics for the benefit of a wide range of users. MEWGC programme has been supported the National Statistical |
|Committee to conduct the Gender Assessment of the National Statistical System and the Government in the preparation of the first Voluntary National |
|Review. In addition, UNWomen is providing technical support to the National Statistics Committee to improve dissemination and communication skills on |
|gender statistics through training and coaching sessions, revision of existing practices and products to disseminate and communicate data in a more user |
|friendly format that meet needs of different users. |
