Gender Responsive Budgeting

October 19, 2022
12:00 am – 12:00 am
Virtual Event

While Gender Responsive Budgeting is traditionally thought of as a practice of government, civil society organizations are increasingly working in tandem and engaging governments to improve their gender responsive practices. Even when gender responsiveness is embedded into the budget, funds are often shifted during implementation in ways that tend to have disproportionate negative impacts on women. In some cases the commitments made to women aren’t delivered on at all, or the monitoring of budget implementation finds that the policy designs do not respond to womens’ needs and interests. Through an interactive webinar and joint working paper, the International Budget Partnership & the Gender Budget Watchdog Network highlighted the importance of Gender Responsive Budgeting during budget implementation.
