TITLE: Gendered Implications of Tax Reform in Latin America: Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, and Jamaica
AUTHOR: Evelyne Huber
DATE: 2005
The following study, posted on the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development's (UNRISD) website, explores systems of taxation in four Latin American and Caribbean countries – Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, and Jamaica. This paper argues that effective means for reducing class- and gender-based poverty and inequality can be realized through citizenship-based entitlements to basic income support, health care, and education-- which can be achieved through public spending.

Fundar Centro de Análisis e Investigación, October 2004.
This study of HIV/AIDS, human rights and budgets in five Latin American countries is part of an international initiative, coordinated by the AIDS Budget Unit of Idasa in South Africa and generously supported by SIDA (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency). The regional coordination for Latin America was undertaken by Fundar.
The report aims to establish a link between two fundamental aspects: on one hand, the obligations of states with regard to human rights and the steps necessary to ensure that all residents enjoy these rights; and, on the other, the public nature of the resources that states devote to this end. In addition, a key objective of this research project was to empower civil society to undertake such budget analysis.

Gender-responsive budgeting is a crucial tool for women’s empowerment. In Morocco, UNIFEM has worked with the government to create a more tailored approach in which budgeting can have a more effective and immediate impact. As this documentary illustrates, when the needs of women living in a particular geographical and cultural context are addressed, the entire community benefits. In the past four years, the Finance Ministry of Morocco has made substantial progress in developing both gender-responsive and results-oriented budgetary reform.
