Abstract: 

Gender responsive budgeting (GRB) is budgeting responsive budgeting (GRB) is budgeting that integrates a gender perspective and tracks how budgets respond to gender equality and women's rights requirements. This entails examining not only actual allocations and revenue raising measures but also budgeting systems, budgeting processes and looking at the roles of the various actors throughout the process. It also entails investing in making available mechanisms, guidelines, data and indicators that enable gender equality advocates to track progress, benefit incidence and show how supposedly gender neutral budgets impact women.
