Regional Training of Trainers on the Gender Statistics Training Curriculum for Monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The Sub-Group on Gender Statistics Training (SGGST) was established in 2018 to support national statistics offices in the Asia-Pacific region to develop statistical capacities to effectively produce and use gender statistics for gender policy decisions, advocacy, and tracking progress of the sustainable development goals. The SGGST comprises representatives from national statistics offices, national statistical training institutes, academia, the media, and civil society. 

Since its formation, the SGGST has been instrumental in providing guidance and leadership to several activities, most notably, the development of Gender Statistics Training Curriculum. The curriculum was launched in 2020 as a key resource to boost efforts at building and strengthening institutional capacity in the production and use of gender statistics in the Asia-Pacific region. The curriculum, which was designed in a modular structure, presents a structured approach for organizing and delivering training in gender statistics to diverse audiences in a systematic and effective manner. Since its release, the curriculum has been widely used for training (national, regional, and subregional) in Asia and the Pacific and by many other institutions (universities etc.) and agencies outside the region.
