Reference: National Training Workshop on the Compilation of Statistics on Women in the Informal Sector in Gambia. (1994). Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic: INSTRAW.
Year: 1994
Description: This report summarizes the National Training Workshop held in Gambia from 8 to 16 May 1991. It examines the factors that contribute to the country's underdevelopment and the biased approaches to women, including the traditional and cultural practices responsible for a wide discrepancy in data collection. An approach was needed that recognized women's input and participation in economic development, and for that purpose it was important to review the strengths and weaknesses or limitations of national-level data as a tool for planning, monitor changes in the status of women and facilitate their full participation in national development.
