A GENDER-RESPONSIVE budget (GRB) looks at how government spending affects women, men, girls and boys differently, based on their roles, needs and lived experiences, says the Gender Budget Group (GBG).
Instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach, GRB proposes that budgets address the real needs of different groups. This means designing programmes and allocating funds in ways that benefit everyone fairly – which is why it’s called “gender-responsive”.
