Socioeconomic Database on Women, 1994

Access to comprehensive and up-to-date gender-disaggregated data is essential for development planning and monitoring, as well as to convince policymakers, planners, and program implementers of the need to integrate gender issues. Accurate statistics speak for themselves. They convincingly and clearly demonstrate gender disparities. They provide the evidence that encourages planners to give attention to the needs of women in their sector programs. Recognizing the importance of accurate gender-disaggregated statistics, in 1994 ADB provided a technical assistance grant to Fiji -Socioeconomic Database on Women. The TA helped Fiji's Department of Women and Culture extract such data from relevant government departments, and compile it in a statistical profile on the comparative situation of women and men: Women of Fiji: a Statistical Gender Profile.
