Based on knowledge gained from gender budgeting experiences in the Mexican health sector, this tool is made up of five chapters that illustrate various concepts such as the formulation of indicators and strategies for designing gender sensitive policies, recommendations for HIV/AIDS prevention programmes using a gendered approach, as well as the analysis of inequality gaps, among others.

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.
