in the CARICOM Programme is to obtain sex-

decision-making and monitoring and assessing of
social development.

(wherever possible), the idea is to facilitate the
mainstreaming of gender in policy development

RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION OF INDICATORS AND STATISTICS WAS BASED ON:
Relevance at the Regional and National levels

The list of statistics has been divided into two groups.
The first set (Group 1) - those which it is considered
must be collected.
Group 2 - while these are important they are thought to
be more supporting information of the Group 1
indicators (based on time and effort they constitute
Group 2)

As the Programme develops it would be possible to
incorporate them fully as part of Group 1 (Key
Indicators)

The SIMDG Committee:
Has a critical role to play in the compilation of these
statistics and indicators and
To engage in follow-up activities relating to the preparation
of a National Level Report (with analysis) as a major
output.

The approach of establishing the SIMDG Committee and giving
the Committee the responsibilty for compiling these statistics and
indicators, will result in improvements in:
Availability
Accessibility
Quality Improvement
Timeliness
Training opportunities
CARICOM

DISCUSSION POINTS:
Adequacy/ availability of the statistics and indicators
Additional indicators to be included
Changes to be made between groups 1 and 2
Other issues relative to country perculiarities
