What is gender budgeting and how is it being implemented in India
Understanding the concept and implementation of gender budgeting in India.
Gender budgeting is a tool used to analyze how budget allocations impact women and men differently. In India, gender budgeting was introduced in 2005 to promote gender equality and ensure women's empowerment. Here is how it is being implemented in India:
- Identification of gender-specific needs and priorities in budgetary allocations.
- Separate allocation for women-centric programs and schemes.
- Monitoring and evaluation of budget allocations to assess their impact on gender equality.
- Increased focus on sectors like health, education, and employment to address gender disparities.
- Training of government officials to mainstream gender perspectives in budget planning and implementation.
