| Title of paper | Gender Responsiveness of the Statistical System (GROSS): Indonesian case |
| Abstract | In Indonesia, sex-disaggregated data have been generated in various ways in different institution and different level. However, those data has not been systematically collected, reported, and distributed. The State Ministry for the Empowerment of Women (MEW) as the national machinery of women has so far been difficulties in collecting information on data by gender. This lack of information has caused policy makers to make decisions based on intuition, which are often too subjective. The Ministry is in position to develop the system in cooperation with the concerned agencies such as BPS (Statistics Indonesia) as producer of quantitative data, LIPI (Indonesian Institute of Sciences) as collector of research literatures, and other institutions, which generally compiled administrative records. Talking about statistics in Indonesia, we have to take into account the National Statistical System. The National Statistical System (NSS), based on Law Number 16/1997 and Government Regulation Number 51/1999, aimed to produce statistical data efficiently and effectively. In the NSS there are 3 types of statistics, based on the purpose for which they are used, i.e: Basic Statistics, Sectoral Statistics, and Special Statistics. A theoretical framework to integrate those elements was developed by Midori Otake, a JICA short term expert. Otake presented 4 key factors in developing GROSS. These factor are data source, data need, information box, and a committee consisting of data producers and consumers. Developing GROSS depends mainly on the demand and supply balance of data. Thus, Gender Responsiveness Of the Statistical System (GROSS) is an important component of gender mainstreaming for the formulation of gender responsiveness policies, planning and assessing the implementation of monitoring and evaluation. Whilst developing GROSS, which is apart of statistical activities, must take into account the National Statistical System (NSS). |
