Statistical Yearbook for Asia and the Pacific 2013
The primary objective of this manual is to foster a gender perspective in national statistics. Recognizing that systematic integration of gender in regular statistical activities is still missing in many countries, the manual has been designed to guide a sustainable development of gender statistics. The manual provides concrete information needed to accomplish three main goals: to achieve a comprehensive coverage of gender issues in data production activities; to incorporate a gender perspective into the design of surveys or censuses, by taking into account gender issues and gender-biases in measurement; and to improve data analysis and data presentation and deliver gender statistics in a format easy to use by policy makers and planners.
The Statistical Yearbook for Asia and the Pacific contains about 400 data series published in 94 statistical data tables covering the 58 regional members and associate members of ESCAP. Time series data cover a wide range of socio-economic issues: demography, urbanization, migration, health, education, poverty and inequalities, environment, economy (macroeconomic trends, employment, international trade), transport, information and communication technology, and tourism. Data are compiled primarily from authoritative international sources across the UN system in order to ensure an acceptable degree of comparability across countries.

The UN E-Government Survey serves as a tool for decision-makers to identify their areas of strength and challenges. The Survey assesses the e-government readiness of the 193 Member States of the UN according to a quantitative composite index of e-readiness based on website assessment, telecommunication infrastructure, and human resource endowment. ICTs can help reinvent government in such a way that existing institutional arrangements can be restructured and new innovative arrangements can flourish, paving the way for a a collaborative, effective, inclusive, transparent and accountable government, which is critical for sustainable development. DPADM, as a global hub for innovation in public governance, promotes knowledge sharing of innovative approaches and practices in public management, particularly in the area of e-government.
