Gender Audits: Reinforcing the Missing Link in Gender Responsive Budgeting

Abstract

This study aims to address the gaps in the current (external and internal) audit process. It focuses on two programmes –Yeshasvini, implemented by state government, and ‘Centre of Excellence’ (CoE) under the National Skill Development Programme (NSDP) supported by the central government. These programmes are connected with health and employment dimensions that influence gender equality as measured by welfare1 and empowerment indices respectively.
