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.

Rapport Genre Maroc 2007

Auteur: Ministère des Finances et de la Privatisation Direction des Etudes et des Prévisions Financières

Le Rapport Genre 2007 vise à avoir un caractère d’évaluation des politiques et des pratiques au regard de la Budgétisation Sensible au Genre, démontrant ce qui a été réalisé et ce qui reste à faire et identifiant les défis, les contraintes, les opportunités et les enjeux sectoriels. Ce rapport est donc un outil pédagogique et de plaidoyer, visant à susciter et d’éclairer les débats et le dialogue autour des politiques poursuivies et leurs impacts sur les populations, répondant aux orientations du Premier Ministre qui recommande dans sa lettre de cadrage pour la préparation de la Loi de Finances 2007 d'inclure la démarche genre dans le cadre de la nouvelle gestion axée sur les résultats.
