A Resource for Gender Responsive Budgeting Groups
It doesn’t matter how amazing your analysis is if it just sits on the shelf and nobody uses it
The aim of gender responsive budgeting is not simply to analyse policy but to change it. Making change happen involves working with decision makers at all levels, involving civil society and communicating your messages through the media.
These pages give examples of ways in which WBG has done this.
