UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
In Grenada, as in most CARICOM Member States, there remains a challenge with producing and utilizing data sufficient to monitor progress on the SDGs, including Goal 5 on Gender Equality. However, Grenada has been at the forefront in the region, of addressing major gender data gaps. Grenada is one of only six CARICOM Member States – The Bahamas, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago to conduct Women’s Health Surveys, which have produced data to measure SDG Target 5.2 (Eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation); and Target 5.3 (Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation).
The Grenada Central Statistical Office has made significant progress in strengthening the management of administrative data on VAWG across various sectors. With support from the recently concluded EU-UN-Government of Grenada Spotlight Initiative, an assessment was conducted, and preparations were made to develop a system for collecting administrative data so that laws, policies and programmes would be based on evidence and be better able to respond to the specific context and realities of women and girls, including those most marginalized, in Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. In Phase II, emphasis was placed on piloting the data management system, in collaboration with the National Coordinating Mechanism, and in partnership with the service providers who will be collecting administrative data.
Through support provided by the Women Count global programme on gender data, the Grenada Statistical Office will coordinate the development of National Guidelines on the Collection and Use of Administrative Data on VAWG.
In 2023, during the 48th Meeting of the Standing Committee of Caribbean Statisticians (SCCS), CARICOM Guidelines and Protocols on the Collection and Use of Administrative Data on VAWG, developed in collaboration with the CARICOM Regional Statistics Programme (RSP), were approved. The abovementioned National Guidelines will draw on and be guided by the CARICOM Guidelines. With support from this project, the Grenada Central Statistical Office (CSO) will convene User-Producer dialogues which will serve as key platforms to harmonise and standardise VAWG data collection and analysis across the various ministries, departments and agencies that comprise the national statistical system.
Under the overall supervision of the UN Women MCO – Caribbean Representative, with day-to-day supervision and direct reporting to the Deputy Representative; the Gender Statistics Consultant will support the development of National Guidelines on the Collection and Use of Administrative Data on VAWG.
