CEDAW/C/PHI/5-6
23. Application at the local government levels. A Presidential Directive dated 4 September 1998
provides funding for provincial level sex-disaggregation of data. SRTC and the Population
Commission designed a manual on the use of data for GAD planning and a core set of indicators
for local-level gender-responsive population and development planning and monitoring.
24. In addition to coordinating and supporting the efforts of the Philippine Statistical System,
NCRFW maintains its own information center, which offers key statistics and other information
materials on the status of women and on laws, programs, projects, activities, and institutions
addressing gender issues; keeps a computerized database of statistical and qualitative data, and
publishes fact sheets on women and other special reports. NCRFW also helped create GAD
Resource Centers (GRC) in other parts of the country to provide similar services. NCRFW also
developed a gender responsive database in Compostela Valley, which can be referred to by other
LGUs for their own mainstreaming efforts.
25. Interventions under FPW. The government plans to complete implementation of its gender and
statistics program in order to monitor changes in the status of women and the fulfillment of their
human rights.
a. Among the priority actions are: (i) the approval of the core GAD indicators by NSCB and
the allocation of budget for its implementation, and (ii) the adoption through a presidential
directive of the outputs of the project to generate statistics on violence against women and
therefore its full and coordinated implementation by the Philippine National Police, the
departments of health and social welfare, local governments, and NGOs.
b. The NSO, with the support of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA),
NCRFW and women’s organizations, are attempting to generate demand for data to measure
the contribution of men and women’s unpaid work to the economy. The expected result
would be the allocation of a budget to implement the national time use survey.
c. The three key statistical agencies, together with NCRFW, plan to assist line agencies and
local governments in adopting the GAD indicator system. Further efforts shall stress the
regular use of the data in monitoring agency GAD Plans, as well as in gender analysis of
national and local budgets.
d. To provide adequate feedback on the status and progress of its implementation, the FPW has
a monitoring and evaluation system that brings together initiatives in monitoring gender
policies and programs with the mainstream monitoring and evaluation system of
government. The system is designed to generate information at the input, output, outcome
and impact level.
