Lack of disaggregated IDP data complicates estimation of
gender-sensitive relief and reconstruction needs (2005)
- World Bank study contends that there is
very little disaggregated data available on displaced women and
children.
- This lack of information make planning
of gender-sensitive programme more difficult.
"The Department of Social Welfare
and Development (DSWD), has the critical role of locating populations in
different geographic areas to collect, collate, and disseminate
information required to plan for both publicly- and privately-funded
responses. While the socio-demographic statistics provided by the DSWD,
and by the local as well as regional government offices, are generally
considered as timely and helpful, data is not disaggregated by gender
and/or age. It is thus difficult to formulate gender-sensitive
programs and plans, and estimate relief and
reconstruction requirements in a manner that is truly responsive to the
different needs of displaced men, women, and children. International
experience suggests that it is women and very young children that are most
severely impacted by the lack of data and
information disaggregated by
gender and age." (WB, January 2005, p. 6)
