Measuring and integrating time-use data in national accounts and national budgets
This paper examines the 53 countries of Africa do not have a comprehensive system to regularly collect and publish statistics from household surveys — in stark contrast with the disposition of statistical resources in many developed countries. Sometimes when household surveys have been conducted, inadequate provision has been made to tabulate and publish results. Worse still, there is lack of recognition of the contribution of household production to poverty reduction, lack of funding, and lack of technical awareness and tools in the national statistical Bureau (NSB) as well spectral ministries. These deficiencies have resulted in a general lack of gender disaggregated data (GDD) on the household sector as a major bottleneck, both at national and regional levels, in the process of designing, monitoring and evaluating gender responsive policies and strategies including poverty reduction.
