Introduction

Gender responsive budgeting is a strategic tool to boast gender equality mainstreaming in economic planning and financial management. It is an approach which assures that the budget reaches out to all the people, men and women and provides opportunity for their participation in the budgeting process and management.   Gender responsive budgeting is based on the analysis of the impact of expenditure and revenue on women and girls as compared to men and boys. Gender budget analysis helps governments and organizations understand the impact of policies, where adjustment can be made, and where resources need to be reallocated to address poverty and gender inequalities.
