Abstract

Gender budgeting This chapter lays out how fiscal policies and public financial management practices can be used to promote gender equality. It highlights the importance of ensuring that governments set priorities for their gender equality goals, ensure that budget programs and policies are managed to achieve these goals, and choose meaningful indicators of success. The chapter identifies key areas of focus such as access to education, healthcare, and infrastructure, women’s economic empowerment, and effective administration of justice. Indonesia is cited as an example of successful gender budgeting, despite uneven implementation. Leadership from finance ministries and support from well-informed public servants are necessary. NGOs have motivated and informed government action. The evidence suggested that well-structured and implemented gender budgeting and related initiatives play a productive role.
