 n continent. In addition\, the Regional Workshop also discusses the findin
 gs obtained from six pilot countries – Georgia\, Kazakhstan\, Kenya\, Se
 negal\, Cameroon\, and Zimbabwe – that participated in undertaking exerc
 ises in micro-linking trade and non-trade data within their countries and 
 identify ways forward for improved data collection in gender-in-trade stat
 istics.\n\nThe objectives of this regional workshop is to:\n\n\nEncourage 
 knowledge sharing amongst statistics officers on best methods and practice
 s to support the collation of data and statistics on gender and trade and

  long-term goal of collecting sex-disaggregated trade data and identify ga
 ps and proposed solutions for ensuring that national statistics collection
  includes gender-responsive indicators across the continent.\nImprove unde
 rstanding of regularising and implementing long-term data collection on in
 formal cross-border trade (ICBT) to inform evidence-based policymaking tha
 t meet the needs of informal and small-scale traders.\n\n\nThis workshop i
