Overview
The Gender Statistics Portal is a one stop centre for gender
statistics in the National Statistical System (NSS) of Uganda.
The Portal is an initiative developed by UBOS, with support from
UN Women to promote the dissemination, uptake and use of gender
statistics, in line with the National Priority Gender Equality
Indicators (NPGEIs).
The NPGEIs are a set of indicators developed to help the
Government of Uganda monitor the gender related targets in the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and make available gender
statistics for evidence based gender related policy, planning
and programming, while ensuring the same are widely accessible
by all users.
The NPGEIs are aligned to Uganda's global and regional
commitments, as well as the national priorities for gender
equality and empowerment of all women and girls. The updated
version of the NPGEIs (2018) comprise 140 indicators categorised
by the Government of Uganda Sectors, up from 106 in 2016.
The Portal presents up-to-date statistics on the NPGEIs,
categorised by the four statistical thematic areas of
Demography, Production, Economic and Environment. This
information is presented in form of tables, graphs and maps with
the accompanying metadata.
The Portal also presents gender statistics related publications,
activities, features and gallery, with links to related
stakeholder sites.
