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.| NEW!

This issue - which coincides with the preparations of the Ghana High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness - highlights the relevance of GRB approaches to ensuring that aid management systems as articulated in the Paris Declaration incorporate a gender perspective.
The publication further explores a number of GRB initiatives (Nepal, Morocco and Egypt) where Ministries of Finance are taking the lead in introducing systems, guidelines and mechanisms to ensure that budgeting contributes to the promotion of women’s rights. The issue also mentions various efforts in support of GRB by the UN system and other agencies as well as GRB initiatives in South East Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States, Canada, and Senegal. Finally, information is provided on new resources and upcoming GRB events.
We hope you find the information useful and look forward to receiving your feedback on the present and contributions to upcoming issues.
