Gender budgeting

The Swedish Women’s Lobby has develop a method for analysing budgets and policies from a gender equality perspective called “Follow the money!”. This method can serve as a great step to introducing gender policies or budgets within your local government.

If you are part of an ICLD programme and interested in applying this method, we suggest you conduct the method early on with your team as part of your ICLD project’s action plan for year 1 or within an ICLD network workshop to receive input from your peers.

If you are interested in finding out more about gender budgeting and why it it key to ensure your local government lives up to human rights, take another online course available at learn.icld.se called: “Human rights budgeting and corruption in local governance“
