Assessment of the Status of Gender Statistics in Jordan

This assessment aims to provide a well-informed basis for the design of Making Every Woman and Girl Count (Women Count) programme interventions in Jordan, which will be aligned with the three programme pillars: enabling environment for gender statistics, data production, data use. Information was collected through a desk review of documentation provided by the Department of Statistics (DoS), UN Women and other sources, as well as a reviews by DoS and the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW), and a validation workshop in October 2019, which included a range of stakeholders (representing government institutions, data producers and data users, civil society organizations, academia and researchers, the private sector, UN agencies and international partners). This report is structured according to the three main pillars of the programme mentioned above.
