Promoting Women’s Rights with Gender- Responsive Budgeting Featuring: Government of Nepal Where: Nepal Time Frame: 2007 - Present DESCRIPTION In the Fiscal Year of 2007/2008, the government of Nepal introduced Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) policies. The goal of Gender-Responsive Budgeting is to mainstream gender in policies and plans, redress inequalities, and promote women’s economic, social, and political rights. This includes addressing the needs of both women and men in public budgeting, ensuring that budget policies take gender discrimination into consideration, creating a policy framework, and building capacity to monitor and support budgeting accountability. All of this aims to ensure the gender-sensitive allocation of resources across the government. In Nepal, GRB expenditures are classified into three categories: 1) directly responsive to gender; 2) indirectly responsive; and 3) neutral across all sectors, depending on the extent to which women are beneficiaries of these expenditures. Nepal has also institutionalized gender mainstreaming through GRB across all sectors and levels of government. National periodic planning focuses on the social, economic, and political empowerment of excluded women, ending violence against women, and improving the role of women in peace and development. IMPACT Gender-Responsive Budgeting has improved women’s access to national and local institutions, and resources including, education and health services, and property ownership. GRB has contributed gains such as: • Land ownership of women increasing from eight percent in 2001/2002 to 23 percent in 2011/2012 • School dropout rates decreased to 5 percent in 2011/2012 due to increased access to toilet facilities in school. • Female literacy rates increased from 42 percent in 2001/2002 to 56 percent in 2011/2012 • Gender responsive allocations in the Nepali budget increased from US$1.13 to 1.36 billion between 2013 and 2015.
