GRB newsletter Issue 4/ March 2010

This issue of the GRB newsletter focuses on the application of GRB to the health sector, HIV/Aids and Violence against women (VAW), three areas where quantitative and empirical data indicate that women's needs and priorities are being neglected in many countries. The issue highlights examples of how budget analysis, tracking and advocacy can contribute to strengthening government's response to women's health needs. Using findings from a recent study on GRB and Aid Effectiveness, the newsletter draws attention to the extent to which donor funding in the health sector addresses women's needs.

The Country Focus section features an interview with the senior gender adviser of the Mozambican Health Ministry who is spearheading efforts for applying GRB to the health sector in Mozambique.

The section on Efforts in Support of GRB looks at proceedings from a recent workshop on GRB and VAW held in Morocco and at an initiative in Serbia where the application of GRB in the employment sector prompted broader reforms in relation to gender mainstreaming.

Finally, the News in Brief section provides updates on recent GRB activities and publications.
