Gender budgeting

This paper explores the need to integrate gender budgeting into budget processes in a way that achieves tangible improvements in policy outcomes.

It addresses a range of topics including:

- Measuring gender inequalities and gender equity indexes
- Gender budgeting concepts and frameworks
- Gender budgeting experiences

The paper also looks at the role of the International Monetary Fund in encouraging fiscal authorities to account for the external benefits of reducing gender inequalities and to remove discriminatory aspects of fiscal legislation.
