To coincide with the International Women's Day, which is celebrated on 8^th March annually, the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI) has launched a webpage dedicated to the indicators of women in the Sultanate of Oman.

The initiative aims to highlight the latest indicators concerning women in the Sultanate of Oman, including Omani women, across six key areas: Demographics, Health, Education, Employment, Social Protection, and Political Participation.

 Susan bint Dawood Al-Lawatiyah, Director-General of Information at NCSI, stated that , the platform currently displays three core indicators for each sector, with users able to track the evolution of these indicators either through time series available on the interactive dashboards or by selecting a specific year for detailed data.

She emphasized that, the platform also enables users to download the full data sets in Excel format, promoting the concept and principle of open data and enabling others to reutilize the information as needed.

“We are proud to launch this page, which offers a clear and accurate perspective on the status of women in the Sultanate of Oman,” said Al-Lawatiyah.

She added: “This webpage will empower researchers, policymakers, and the wider community by providing access to critical data that supports sustainable development, social and economic empowerment of Omani women.”

It is worth noting that, the NCSI’s Women’s Indicators webpage integrates artificial intelligence technologies for data analysis and visualization. Future developments will expand the platform to include more indicators, offering a broader representation of Omani women’s roles across various sectors.
