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

MOROCCO

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.

BOLIVIA

In Cochabamba, Bolivia, UNIFEM has made significant strides in teaching local women how to seek local government funding for projects that can benefit them. UNIFEM developed and sponsored local workshops in which women were educated on the city budget: where government money comes from, how it is distributed, and what strategies to use in applying for government funds. The workshops helped the women envision a new potential for what they can do for themselves, and helped them better understand what kinds of demands they can make on their own government.

INDIA

Incorporating a gender perspective in government budgets can ensure that resources are allocated towards women's priorities to eliminate gender gaps. 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.

Intégration de la dimension genre dans la planification et l’élaboration du budget au Maroc

Auteur: Direction du Budget du Ministère des Finances et de la Privatisation dans le cadre d’une collaboration étroite avec le Fonds de Développement des Nations Unies pour la Femme, 2006

Produit d’une coopération fructueuse entre le Ministère des Finances et de la Privatisation et le Fonds de Développement des Nations Unies pour la Femme (UNIFEM), ce manuel a été mis au point dans le cadre d’une démarche participative mettant à contribution les différents départements ministériels à travers l’organisation d’ateliers de formation avec le concours d’experts internationaux en la matière.

Ce manuel vise un triple objectif: renforcer les capacités des responsables des budgets et de la planification au niveau de chaque département ministériel dans le domaine de l’analyse "genre" du Budget, servir de cadre normatif pour la mise en oeuvre de la réforme budgétaire axée sur les résultats et, enfin, identifier les points d’ancrage de la dimension genre dans le processus de planification et de programmation budgétaire.
