This report presents a new analysis of the economic cost of failing to educate girls. Based on World Bank research and economic data and UNESCO education statistics, it estimates the economic cost to 65 low and middle income and transitional countries of failing to educate girls to the same standard as boys as a staggering US$92 billion each year. This is just less than the $103bn annual overseas development aid budget of the developed world.

Gender smart financing
Women entrepreneurs or female-led companiers are underrepresented when it comes to investment, both as beneficiaries of investment and women as decision-makers. This paper discusses the reasons behind the gender investment gap, with a focus on the lack of female investors. The annex provides a mapping of female-oriented initiatives on entrepreneurship and investment at European Union (EU) level, in the EU Member States and in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Israel.

How to do a gender-sensitive budget analysis: contemporary research and practice
'This document grew out of the experiences of developing gender-sensitive budgets in several countries. Australia was the first country to develop a gender-sensitive budget with the Federal government publishing in 1984 the first comprehensive audit of a government budget for its impact on women and girls. Women’s budget exercises were also undertaken by each of the Australian State and Territory governments at various times during the 1980s and 1990s. In South Africa, parliamentarians, together with non-governmental organisations, started working on a gender-sensitive analysis of budgets in 1995. The data has been drawn from those countries which already have gender-sensitive budgets in place, or are in the process of initiating them. .There is no single approach or model of a gender sensitive budget exercise. In some countries, for example, these exercises are implemented by the government while in other countries individuals and groups outside government undertake the budgetary analysis. This publication is primarily aimed at informing those governments considering undertaking a gender-sensitive budget exercise. It covers the issues, methods and strategies for the first year of implementing such an exercise.'
