  2. Introduction • In line with the Global Agenda 2030, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 5 target, GoU with support of the UN Women, developed a set of National Priority Gender Equality Indicators (NPGEIs) (UBOS 2016) to monitor progress of gender equality in the country. • Under the theme :Illuminating the Path to Gender Equality”- draws and responds to SDG 2030 and NDPII • The NPGEIs framework presents a list of gender responsive indicators for the following sectors: Economic, Health, Education, Leadership and Governance, Human Rights, Information and Communication Technology, Energy, Water and Environment, Agriculture and the related metadata High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  3. Introduction… • The NPGEIs were developed through a consultative process and endorsed by high level policy makers from MDAs, Civil Society & Academia. • The NPGEIs have been integrated in the National Standard Indicator (NSI) Framework and aligned to global commitments towards monitoring gender equality. • Hence, utilization of the NPGEIs by all sectors is now the key question High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  4. Purpose • With the NPGEIs in place, there is need to promote the use for policy and programming • The Assessment is part of a larger program on “Gender Statistics Use for Holistic Gender Equality in Uganda” • To establish the uptake of gender statistics in selected 5 sectors • What is the level of utilisation so far? Are we facing the right direction? High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  5. Scope • Time: • The Assessment was carried out from October to November 2017 • Content: • NPGEIs in 5 sectors: Agriculture, Energy, ICT, Lands & Social Development • Location: • Kampala and Entebbe (MAAIF) High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  6. Methodology • A formal communication was made to the Accounting Officers of the selected Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). • Plan for National Statistical Development (PNSD) focal persons in the identified MDAs were contacted to identify the respondents. This was done purposively with respect to the survey objective. • Respondents: Target 10; threshold 5 from each MDA. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  7. Respondents Respondents by sector and sex • A total of 43 respondents were interviewed from the 6 (six) sectors. Of these 18 were female and 25 were male. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  8. Key Findings… Awareness about the NPGEIs • Forty nine percent of the respondents were aware about the NPGEIs. • Awareness about the NPGEIs was highest in the ICT sector, at 75 percent, and least in the Energy sector at 29 percent. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  9. Key Findings… Awareness about the NPGEIs… • Overall four of every ten females respondents and six in every ten males were aware. • Five in every ten females and males in the Lands and Social development sectors were aware • In the Energy sector, only males were aware. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  10. Key Findings… NPGEIs that apply to the Sector as identified by the respondents • The level of appreciation of NPGEI is still sector specific. • Accordingly NPGEI does not capture key indicators from the Energy sector. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  11. Key Findings… Respondents able to list the NPGEIs they have used in past 12 months • Out of the 43 respondents, only 17 could list the indicators in the NPGEIs they had used in the past 12 months. • 39 percent female and 40 percent male. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  12. Key Findings… Use of the NPGEIs • The most common use of the NPGEIs is planning • Others include Monitoring, Program Review, planning, decision making, evaluation and budgeting. • Those below 50 percent include accountability, reconciliation, research and media reporting High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  13. Key Findings… Respondents who got the desired information from the NPGEIs: • Close to seven in every ten respondents usually get/got the desired information in the NPGEIs. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  14. Key Findings… Extent of satisfaction of the quality of the NPGEIs • Quality was rated on a scale of 1 to 4 where 1 –not at all, 4- very satisfied. • Rating was on relevance, accuracy, timeliness, accessibility, interpretability, comparability and coherence of the NPGEIs • On average respondents were satisfied with the quality of the NPGEIs. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  15. Challenges • NPGEIs were not widely disseminated • Limited scope for some sectors e.g. Energy and Lands • Limited production of statistics • Limited disaggregation especially in Household surveys. • Some indicators not clearly defined thus making it difficult to measure High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  16. Conclusion • Awareness about the NPGEIs is relatively LOW– though those aware are satisfied with the quality • Uptake of NPGEIs is equally low • There is a disconnect between sectors as well as on points of intersection • NPGEIs require prime movers across all levels (not the same as focal point) to ensure institutionalisation and embededness High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  17. Recommendations • Provide baselines for the NPGEIs • Disseminate the NPGEIs further. Carry out sensitization • Expand the NPGEIs scope especially in sectors e.g. Energy • Expand production of statistics with concrete relevance to the sectors. High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017

  18. Next Steps • Engage key stakeholders at all levels on utilisation of the NPGEIs – with a clear roadmap generated through consultation • Make NPGEIs as a living tool for planning, delivery and monitoring • Create a holistic chain of gender statistics demand and supply • NPGEIs should be indispensable • Expand research for gender statistics • Long haul perspective is important High level National Data Forum 14th -17th November 2017
