Within the framework of its Statistical Capacity Building (StatCaB) Programme, SESRIC will organise an online Training Course on ‘SDG 5 (Gender Equality) Indicators’ for the benefit of National Statistical Offices (NSOs) and relevant national authorities in OIC Arabic-speaking member countries on 20-22 May 2024.

Ms. Nehaya ODEH, Director of Gender Statistics Department at the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), will conduct the course and cover the following topics:

• Reality of Gender Statistics in the World
• Institutionalize the Gender Statistics
• SDG 5 – Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
• Gender Statistics in Other SDG Goals
• Monitoring Progress and Challenges
• Publishing of data on SDG 5 Indicators

The StatCaB Programme was initiated in early 2007 as the flagship capacity development programme of SESRIC. Within the framework of the StatCaB Programme, the Centre collects information from the NSOs of OIC member countries through the biennial StatCaB Questionnaire, assesses their statistical training needs and capacities, matches these needs and capacities, and organises statistical capacity development activities between the beneficiary and provider countries.
