  1. “Statistics are a boring way to make a point.” - Ewan Sargent, Journalist Gender parity index in primary level enrolment in select countries in Asia, 2005 Georgia and Kazakhstan are the only countries in the sub-region to have an index equal to 1, meaning that the enrolment rate is the same for girls and boys. Armenia has a higher enrolment rate for girls than for boys, as evidenced by the GPI of 1.04. All other countries, namely Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Tajikistan, have lower enrolment rates for girls than for boys, as evidenced by the GPI’s of 0.99, 0.98, 0.98 and 0.96, respectively.

  6. What is DevInfo?

  7. What is DevInfo? • It is a user-friendly database system developed by the UN • Initially launched in 2004; DIv6 released in 2009 • The system is designed to monitor human development • DevInfo is endorsed by the UNDG for use by Member States in monitoring the MDGs • It can be deployed on desktops and on the web • Is distributed royalty-free • It helps in the collation and presentation of data in the form of tables, graphs and maps
