Gender Budgeting has been adopted by Government of India as a tool to facilitate a gender sensitive analysis in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of policies, programmes and budgets (expenditure and revenue). Gender Budget aims to disaggregate the government’s budget according to its differential impact on women and men. Since 2007–08, the Ministry of Women and Child Development has been implementing a Gender Budgeting Scheme to provide financial grant-in-aid to government departments, national and state training institutes and organisations to conduct training and workshops on gender budgeting. These capacity building exercises involve:
(i) Addressing the gap between policy commitment and allocation for women through adequate resource allocation and gender sensitive programme formulation and implementation,
(ii) Mainstreaming gender concerns in public expenditure and policy, and
(iii) Enhancing knowledge and skills on gender budgeting tools and mechanisms
