- Description
- These papers present the experiences of gender budget initiatives in the Andean region, South Africa, Tanzania Uganda, France, Philippines and India, examining the interaction of civil society, elected representatives, and officials and ministers. Focusing on the Andean region, Virginia Vargas-Valente looks at the scope for improving women’s participation in municipal budget processes. She discusses the potential of local budgets to bring about .greater transparency and accountability in local government and some of the obstacles to achieving this, such as lack of timely and relevant information, especially sex-disaggregated statistics: and lopsided decentralization processes, which decentralize administration of services, but not power and resources. Papers from a High Level International Conference ‘Strengthening Economic and Financial Governance Through Gender Responsive Budgeting’, Brussels, 16 - 18 October 2001.
