Programme Overview – Gender Response Budgeting: Mainstreaming Gender in Public Finance and Governance (2025)

Gender Response Budgeting (GRB) is a strategic approach that applies a gender perspective to the entire budget process, ensuring public finance acts as a tool for equality. This two-day programme is meticulously designed for executives and government officials to understand how public expenditure can effectively address gender-based disparities and drive women's empowerment.

Participants will move from foundational gender concepts and sectoral challenges to the practical implementation of GRB. By the end, participants will be equipped to transform policy commitments into measurable gender-equal outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

This programme equips executives with practical tools and strategic knowledge required to analyze, formulate, and monitor public budgets through a gender lens. It enhances capabilities for establishing Gender Budgeting Cells and adopting performance-based assessment methods for gender budgeting.
