Gender Budgeting

Gender Budgeting (in the Human Development Area)

In this context, Gender Budgeting means:

a process to help assess whether a government's gender commitments are translated into the allocation of resources to bridge gender gaps. Gender budgeting is not about devising a separate budget for women and men, but about using tools and processes to analyse the formulation of national budgets and the allocation of resources through a gender lens. This helps assess differential impacts on women and men.
