  2. HIV/AIDS Database Update The U.S. Census Bureau’s HIV/AIDS database has been updated to include new data for more than 120 nations. It is a compilation of data from 219 countries and areas on the prevalence of HIV infection and AIDS cases and deaths. Major updates include new data for China, Nigeria, India, South Africa, and Namibia. The database focuses on HIV/AIDS surveillance data for countries and areas with at least 5,000 population, with the exception of Northern America (including the United States) and U.S. territories. Public health surveillance involves the collection, analysis and use of data to provide public health prevention resources where needed.

  3. Gender Statistics for Data UsersJuly 20 – 24, 2015 This was an introductory workshop designed for analysts responsible for conducting demographic, socio-economic, or gender research in a government agency, such as a National Statistics Office, or a nongovernmental organization (NGO). The audience were analysts who are data users; i.e. staff whose duties include the selection of data that have already been collected and processed and the use of the selected data to develop indicators and to conduct analysis.

  4. Gender Statistics for Data Users The workshop sought to sensitize data users to a range of gender issues and the value of sex-disaggregated data. Fundamental measures covering traditional demographic and socioeconomic topics along with emerging topics, such as time use and conflict and peace building were discussed and “new” indicators recognized by the international community were introduced. Participants were encouraged to explore country- and community-specific issues and to recognize and measure how gender dynamics can vary across settings and over time.
