Facilitating Gender Audit: A Guide for Auditors, Trainers and Researchers.

Abstract

Since the adoption of Gender Budgeting as a tool in India in 2005-06, both national and state governments have provided support to various stakeholders in strengthening democratic governance and advancing women’s rights through initiatives aimed at mainstreaming gender in policy planning and budgeting. The goal so far has been to equip government and non-government stakeholders with the requisite skills for implementing Gender Budgeting initiatives, and to prioritize resources to accelerate strategic, sustainable and meaningful change with regard to gender equality.
