**Analysis**
The text appears to be focused on the improvement of statistics and data collection related to women's situation, which suggests a strong connection to social and economic development. The mention of national and regional workshops, development of new concepts and methods, and training materials implies a focus on capacity building and knowledge sharing. This, combined with the emphasis on national and international data collection, suggests a broader scope that transcends a single category.
