SADC Guidelines on gender responsive budgeting
Abstract
The ultimate objective of Gender Budgeting Guidelines is to enhance SADC Member States efforts in realising gender responsive budgeting. The Guidelines endorse the need for regional guidance to fortify on going gender responsive
budgeting initiatives in many SADC Member States. These initiatives are rooted in the realisation that the quest to improve national economies is intimately linked to the concrete attainment of gender equality through the allocation of adequate budgetary resources. These Guidelines are meant to systematically direct Member States’ efforts to develop national frameworks suitable to their specific country contexts. Although most Gender Budgeting initiatives are still in early stages, they have scored important successes, ranging from actual expenditure re-allocations to opening up of traditionally secretive budget processes, thus allowing greater transparency and accountability.
