WHAT IS GRB?

"Gender responsive budgeting (GRB) is about ensuring that government budgets and the policies and programs that underlie them address the needs and interests of individuals that belong to different social groups. Thus, GRB looks at biases that can arise because a person is male or female, but at the same time considers disadvantage suffered as a result of ethnicity, caste, class or poverty status, location and age. GRB is not about separate budgets for women or men nor about budgets divided equally. It is about determining where the needs of men and women are the same, and where they differ. Where the needs are different, allocations should be different."

Debbie Budlender 2006

This can be achieved through women's participation in budget policymaking and gender budget analysis.

This video presents show how this is working in practice in a GRB initiative supported by UNIFEM in Mysore, India.

UNFPA, UNIFEM 2006

Le manuel de formation sur la budgétisation sensible au genre (BSG) est destiné au développement de capacités au sein des personnels de l’UNPFA et de l’UNIFEM dans l’utilisation des outils d’analyse de genre dans leurs programmes en rapport avec l’égalité des genres et les droits des femmes, il les aidera également à soutenir les initiatives de budgétisation sensible au genre partout où elles existent.

Le manuel cherche particulièrement à faciliter la compréhension de la BSG comme outil de promotion de l’égalité des genres et de la responsabilité envers les droits des femmes mais aussi comme outil pouvant permettre de veiller à l’efficacité et à la transparence des politiques et processus budgétaires.
