IntroductionBackgroundThe Budgeting for Reproductive Rights resource pack was produced under a UNFPA/UNIFEM StrategicPartnership aimed at developing a Coordinated Approach for Effective Technical Assistance to GenderResponsive Budgeting (GRB). This partnership is intended to build the capacity of UNFPA’s countrysupport teams (CSTs) to provide support in using the GRB approach to in-country partners. The partnershipdraws largely on UNIFEM’s experience in supporting GRB initiatives in over twenty countries .since 2000.Gender Responsive Budgeting encompasses a broad range of possible activities. The types of activitiesfor which country partners request support are also very diverse. Thus, it is not possible to providesimple recipes for either the country partners or for UNFPA CSTs. The purpose of this resource pack is toprovide relevant knowledge that may facilitate mainstreaming gender-responsive approaches into reproductivehealth on one hand and the inclusion of specific aspects of gender inequality and disadvantageinto national policy frameworks, on the other hand.Overall, the UNFPA/UNIFEM initiative aims to:• expose CSTs to the range of GRB tools and activities available and how these relate to differentdevelopment situations;• provide CSTs with basic materials (in the form of this resource pack) on different aspects of relevanceto GRB as well as references to further reading on each aspect;• provide a smaller group of CST members with practical experience in a workshop setting on how torespond to the different requests of countries.Two pilot workshops were conducted in early 2006 to validate the content of the resource pack anddevelop the training manual on GRB. These workshops were intended to assist participants in using theresource pack, gaining the skills to use GRB in different circumstances and supporting others in applyingGRB tools.Purpose and format of the resource packThe resource pack takes the form of brief “sheets” on a range of issues. The sheets are relatively independentof each other, but are organised into different sub-topics (as outlined in the Structure sectionon page 10). A user does not need to read through all the sheets at one sitting, but rather can use themas needed.Each topic contains references to further reading. In some cases, these are the main source for whatis written in the resource pack; in other cases, they refer to related writing. The sheets also describe arange of experiences of using GRB in different countries to illustrate different aspects and tools. Theseexamples include some in which gender was not incorporated, despite opportunities to do so.I n t r o d u c t i o n
