Financing for Gender Equality: Gender-Responsive Budgeting in Africa: Chequered Trajectories,... [The chapter traces the pathways and chequered trajectories of gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) on the African continent. Framing GRB as an entry point to re-envision macroeconomic policy so as to realise women’s rights, it explores how the Public Financial Management (PFM) reform accompanying the economic liberalisation agenda can limit the fiscal space to make states accountable for financing gender equality and development. Case studies drawn from Burn’s experiences as practitioner illustrate the less visible facets of budgetary reform and less discernible politics of public policy and budgetary decisions. The chapter discusses GRB policy approaches and strategies and highlights the multifaceted engagement of feminists, gender-equality advocates and state actors to experiment, model, take up and embed GRB in fiscal policies, budgetary processes and decisions.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The chapter traces the pathways and chequered trajectories of gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) on the African continent. Framing GRB as an entry point to re-envision macroeconomic policy so as to realise women’s rights, it explores how the Public Financial Management (PFM) reform accompanying the economic liberalisation agenda can limit the fiscal space to make states accountable for financing gender equality and development. Case studies drawn from Burn’s experiences as practitioner illustrate the less visible facets of budgetary reform and less discernible politics of public policy and budgetary decisions. The chapter discusses GRB policy approaches and strategies and highlights the multifaceted engagement of feminists, gender-equality advocates and state actors to experiment, model, take up and embed GRB in fiscal policies, budgetary processes and decisions.]
