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. 20
