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

UNIFEM Facilitates Round Table with Korean and Indian Government Representatives on GRB

At the request of the Korean Women's Development Institute, UNIFEM organized an information exchange on gender-responsive budgeting initiatives in New Delhi on 6 August. This round table session brought together representatives from the Government of India, including the Ministry of Women and Child Development, gender-responsive budgeting experts and researchers, and delegates from the Korean Women's Development Institute.

Both UNIFEM and the Government of India provided a comprehensive overview of their work and shared materials and research. This is expected to aid progress towards fulfilling a requirement enshrined in Korea's National Finance Act of 2006 for every ministry to submit a gender budget report and a gender budget balance sheet, starting with fiscal year 2010.
