Gender responsive budgeting

Abstract

Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) is process of analysing budget programmes from a gender perspective and prioritising the budget design based on identified gender equality gaps, as well as the integration of gender roles and needs in the reallocation of the available resources for achieving gender equality and advancing woman’s rights. GRB recognizes that the budget and policies have different and unequal impact on women and men and helps to improve accountability and transparency through comprehensive gender analysis to overview the policies, budget, expenditure and its beneficiaries. This Tool consists of steps and practical insight on how to incorporate GRB in projects and programmes.
