Gender budgeting trainings
In the parliament, at municipality level, in the board of schools or associations: everywhere a process of priority setting and choice making is realized through the process of budgeting. A gender budget analysis assesses the implications and impact of budgetary decisions for the position of men and women in all their diversity.
Through gender budget analysis we can evaluate the responsiveness of budget allocations to the differentiated needs and priorities of men and women, and we can reveal the reasons why men and women may respond differently to the same governmental policy or measures. Gender budget analysis also provides recommendations on how the budgetary process can contribute to gender equality, equal rights and opportunities for men and women. Gender budgeting offers important tools to improve the quality and effectiveness of budget plans and processes.
