Abstract:
This paper prepared by Rhonda Sharp, September 2007 uses examples from Australia and the Pacific Island Countries and Territorities to address the following questions: How can we assess a government's achievements in gender responsive budgeting? How can gender responsible budgeting be made sustainable in the face of change? What can we expect from GRBs?
The paper was presented in a context of increasing evidence that GRB are a positive force in promoting a more equitable distribution of public resources and benefits of development for women and improving overall budgetary processes and outcomes. (Abstract from UN Women)
