Gender-Responsive Budgets
Gender-responsive budget analysis provides a way to hold governments accountable for their commitments to gender equality and women's human rights — by linking these commitments to the distribution, use and generation of public resources. It identifies the implications of budgets for women and girls as compared to men and boys and forms the basis for reordering the budget process and priorities to support women's empowerment and gender equality.
