These materials aim to help familiarise the reader with Sector Wide Approaches (SWAps) and help prepare them face the challenges they pose. They are designed in an accessible way both to help build on existing knowledge of readers who may have some idea of what a SWAp is, or have already operated within a SWAp environment, and for those who may have not worked in a SWAp environment at all.

by Women Won't Wait Campaign, Action Aid; 2007. Author: Susana T. Fried
In response to the growing body of evidence on violence and HIV&AIDS, and in response to calls by human rights advocates for effective action on these issues, international institutions and national governments have articulated a concern to address gender-based violence, including within the context of HIV&AIDS.
Little is known, however, about what is actually being done to address these issues in policies, programming and funding, and whether the efforts that are underaway are truly based on the human rights and health agenda advocated for so long by women’s movements throughout the world. In order to better understand the level of resources – in policy, programming and funding -- committed to this deadly intersection, this report was commissioned by an international coalition of organizations working on women’s human rights, development, health and HIV& AIDS.
Show us the money is violence against women on the HIV&AIDS funding agenda?

“The Female-Friendliest Treasurer of them All???” author:Rhonda Sharp Hawke Research Institute, University of South Australia 2006
This paper provides a gender analysis of the Australian Treasurer’s 2006/07 budgetary changes by examining the gender impacts of the tax concessions given to superannuation savings. It identifies the groups most able to take advantage of the Treasurer’s generosity as being income and flexible-asset rich Australians (which include relatively few women). The economic position of the 75% of ‘pensionable age’ Australians who, by the Treasurer’s own estimates, will not be self-funded retirees by 2050 will be jeopardised by the tax initiatives. The paper concludes by identifying the elements of a budgetary approach that would contribute to a more female- friendly retirement incomes policy.

Authors: Andy Norton and Diane Elson, What’s behind the Budget? Politics, Rights and Accountability in the budget process, ODI 2002
This paper identifies issues, partners, tools and methods that help development actors to support citizen accountability and a pro-poor, gender-equitable, focus in public expenditure management. The paper argues that integrating a rights perspective with a good understanding of the mechanics and politics of public expenditure management has potential for advancing understanding of how a pro-poor focus can be encouraged in mainstream public policy.
The paper broadly aims to review different conceptual approaches for addressing issues of human rights, entitlements, political accountability and citizen participation in relation to the budget process and highlights experiences of pro-poor and gender-sensitive budget initiatives and draw key lessons.

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.
