Description

Gender responsive budgeting (GRB) is a means of integrating a gender perspective into all steps of the budget process — planning, drafting, implementing and evaluating — so as to ensure that budget policies take into consideration the gender issues in the society (UNESCO, 2010). GRB does not involve creating separate budgets for women/girls and men/boys but rather seeks to address persistent inequalities between women/girls and men/boys by equally serving their needs and priorities (Sharp, 2003; Budlender et al, 2002).
