DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis paper examines the concept of gender-responsive government budgeting, promoted in recent years by women's nongovernmental organizations, academia, and multilateral organizations, and the extent of its implementation by national governments in both advanced and developing countries. Owing to recently developed analytical and technical tools, government budget management systems in some countries can help promote gender equality-to the extent of government involvement in gender-sensitive sectors and programs-at any level of available funding. However, to be fully effective, obstacles such as gender-biased culture, the lack of appropriate budget classifications, and the lack of gender analysis expertise and gender-disaggregated data in most countries need to be addressed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book analyzes the practice of local-level participatory planning and budgeting and its impact on gender responsive budgeting (GRB) in Bangladesh. The book offers a conceptual framework that brings into focus the contribution of successful participatory budgeting practice to ensure GRB – the examination of whether men and women fall under existing income and expenditure patterns differently. It suggests that the ideas of participatory budgeting and GRB should be evolving together to provide a concrete idea to address gender needs. The book provides a theoretical explanation that contributes to the consolidation of the practice of GRB at the local government level through participatory budgeting. Conceptualizing the process of participatory budgeting and GRB in the context of Bangladesh, the book will be of interest to researchers in the field of Development Studies, Political Science, Public Administration, and Gender, as well as Asian Studies, in particular, South Asian Studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe gap between gender equality policies and gender responsive budgeting still occurs in Indonesia's public finance. This gap has brought negative impacts to the society, in particular women, because the proportion of public expenditure for women's needs is still very low. Such condition requires the commitment of the government to realize gender equality by mainstreaming gender perspective on various mechanisms, policies and budgeting. This research aimed to analyze the integration of gender responsive budgeting in local government budget at Department of Health in Makassar Municipality of Indonesia in 2014. This research used qualitative method of which the primary data were collected through in-depth interview and documentations. The result indicated that the allocation of gender specific budgeting was 4% with 26 posts and allocation of gender equality budgeting was 3% with 3 posts. Meanwhile, general gender mainstreaming budgeting was unavailable or 0% of total direct expenditure at the Health Department. There were several obstacles in implementing gender responsive budgeting at the department including the obstacles on policies, structural and cultural. Therefore, this research strongly recommends the national and provincial governments to actively plan the budget in gender responsive budgeting, conducts socialization and campaign on the implementation. Finally, local government should integrate local budgeting and plan in responsive gender budgeting perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the twenty-first century, gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) has emerged as a development tool that explores if and how gender equality goals and targets are being effectively supported through government funding. Gender-Responsive Budgeting in Practice: Lessons from Nigeria and Selected Developing Countries argues that, although justified by the high costs of gender inequality to economic growth and development, the use of GRB as a tool to achieve global and regional gender equality goals has seen little progress in the twenty-first century, especially in developing countries. Through analyses of government budgets and the budgeting process, and gender equality outcomes in Nigeria and the selected countries from 2000 to 2020, the contributors show that GRB has failed to gain traction or thrive in developing countries. Using these analyses, the contributors identify critical success factors that are missing in policy-making and planning in the developing world and must be integrated in order to further facilitate inclusive growth and sustainable development.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGender budgeting is an approach to fiscal policy and administration that integrates considerations of women’s equality and advancement into the budget. Latin American countries have undertaken diverse gender budgeting initiatives, most of them addressing public expenditures. This paper surveys and assesses some key initiatives, including those in Mexico, Mexico City, Ecuador, Bolivia, and El Salvador, and briefly summarizes others. The five key initiatives offer different perspectives on how countries approach gender budgeting. We find that these initiatives are contributing to the reduction of gender inequality and the advancement of women in Latin America, though there is scope to strengthen them.
