Date: 2002-2005
The document details the gender budgeting work of the National Council for Women (NCW) and the Public Administration Research and Consultation Centre (PARC) at Cairo University in Egypt. In early 2002, UNIFEM in cooperation with (PARC), enabled the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University to develop two specialized modules on gender responsive budgeting and gender performance auditing. The two modules have been successfully tested and implemented with the senior finance officers of line ministries (35 participants), in coordination with the NCW. This was assessed as an excellent initiative and opportunity to approach the people responsible for budgets. The training was one of the phases of implementation of the gender mainstreaming strategy within the National Plan, which UNIFEM had technically and financially supported to mainstream gender within the economic and social five-year plan 2002-2007. The gender budget initiative is also a continuation of PARC's earlier efforts on gender responsive budgets and budgeting for the poor, which was supported by the Ford Foundation.

This fact sheet provides an overview of the GRB initiative in Morocco. Under the leadership of the Moroccan Ministry of Finance and with support from UNIFEM, the Government of Morocco has, over the past five years, developed a model for institutionalizing an approach to GRB that demonstrates how it can become an essential component of public sector reform and a tool for more accurately assessing financial resources and requirements for fulfilling commitments to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Title: Morocco
Author: UNIFEM
Date: 2003-2005
The following report describes the progress of Morocco in gender budgeting at the national level. The elimination of rural/urban and gender disparities constitutes one of the strategic objectives of the Moroccan Governmen’s policy, as reflected in the 2000-2004 National Development Plan. In this context, a number of poverty alleviation programmes have been put in place, targeting urban and peri urban poverty, rural electrification, access to drinking water supply and sanitation and the promotion of girls’ schooling. The Ministry in charge of Women’s Conditions, Family and Child Protection and the Integration of the Disabled, has put in place, with the support of UNIFEM, UNDP and UNFPA.
These include advocacy programmes geared towards decision-makers at the national and local levels, a national strategy to combat gender-based violence, capacity building partnership initiatives between governmental and non governmental stakeholders. In order to achieve the far-reaching goals of the national development plan, structural reforms in the economic, social and political arenas have been undertaken, including a Good Governance Pact. The consolidation of budgetary allocations is one of the major innovations of this reform process, enabling transparency and accountability.
