Gender Mainstreaming
AND BUDGETING
1. Gender Mainstreaming:
Gender mainstreaming is a strategy that involves integrating a gender perspective
into all policies, programs, and activities across different sectors of society. The goal
is to ensure that gender considerations become a fundamental part of how decisions
are made and implemented, rather than being treated as separate or secondary
issues. Gender mainstreaming encourages the analysis of how policies and actions
affect women, men, and gender-diverse individuals differently, and it seeks to
address and rectify gender inequalities.
2. Gender Responsive Planning:
Gender responsive planning involves considering and addressing gender-specific
needs, priorities, and challenges when developing and implementing policies,
programs, and projects. It acknowledges that men and women may have different
roles, responsibilities, and access to resources in society. By incorporating a gender
perspective into planning, policymakers aim to create more equitable and effective
interventions that can contribute to positive outcomes for all genders.
