Engendering Budgets Reaching Millennium Development Goals will be impossible without targeting and substantially raising the capabilities of women and girls in developing and transitioning countries. Governments that are serious about combating poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women will be most sucessful in meeting MDGs if they plan for gender equitable development in the national budget by practicing gender responsive budgeting. Gender analysis of public sector budgets helps policy makers to identify differences in access to and distribution of public resources between men and women. This knowledge in turn helps planners to define policy priorities and provide a mechanism to ensure that public money is spent more effectively and efficiently. Our Gender Responsive Budgeting consultancies provide clients with an understanding of how gender issues arise in a budgetary context; advice on the collection and utilization of gender-disaggregated data in budget formulation; and ongoing gender analysis to assess the impact of government policies, resource allocations and revenue measures on the population.
