What has been the achievement??
What have we achieved? 1. Enhanced capacity on gender and GRB • A critical minimum mass; New constituency • But what is the strategy? 2. Gender Budget Statements – a step towards more transparency? • “We cant see gender in the budget”; Important consciousness • But being done more like a checklist; weak gender analysis and weak monitoring 3. Contributions to the gender architecture • Who monitors? Who convenes? Do they actually sit in on budget decision? 4. Changing policies and budget • Changes in the distribution of benefits among beneficiaries • Introduction of new policy and funding
Final Achievement? Making budgets and policies more gender responsive Resulting in better outlays and outcomes and impact on women
