How?
Gender budgeting could be undertaken as a specific exercise
of the government or it could be integrated into the budget
process as a matter of standard practice. The theoretical
arguments suggest that the latter is appropriate.
If gender budgeting is good budgeting, then the budgeting
process is incomplete without it.
As a practical matter, special exercises that identify and try
to quantify and analyze gender budgeting components
might be useful on a regular but supplemental basis.
Scope?
Subnational governments:
Education:
Health care:
This is another key area where gender budgeting can have
substantive effect.
The goal is to ensure that girls and women have good quality
health care at all stages of life.
The goals are often set in terms of maternal mortality and
ensuring that pregnant women receive all needed services.
Rural areas tend to be the most underserved and reducing
the number of births unattended by trained health
specialists is a key goal.
Sanitary facilities for girls is key to keeping them in school
beyond primary age in rural areas.

Examples.
Mexico has had initiatives since 2000. These have involved the three
levels of government, national, state and local, and also engaged civil
society.
Every year the Federal Budget (Presupuesto de Egresos de la Federacin)
includes a related Annex. In 2015, it is Annex 13 named Resources for
Women and Gender Equality. This annex lays out the resources for
womens issues.
Additionally the National Womens machinery (Instituto Nacional de las
Mujeres (INMUJERES)) is responsible for gender policies at national level,
and has been involved in gender budgeting work.
By 2015, almost all state level offices of INMUJERES in Mexico have done
or are working on some area of gender budgeting.
Ecuador has also had significant experience with gender budgeting at the
national level. At one time, there was a gender budgeting department in
the Ministry of Finance.
In Ecuador, this work has involved the parliament, the three levels of
government, national, state and local , as well as civil society. The UNs
UNWomen local office is also a partner.
Ecuador has developed a budget classification for gender-related
spending, which is part of the Federal budget and for which all Ministries
are required to assign resources every year.
Legislative work has also supported gender equity.
Costa Rica has been working on GRB for a long time. Costa Ricas GRB started at the Womens Mechanisms level and has accomplished many legislation chang
In Costa Rica they have developed a lot of GRB training material for Government Officers, adapted to their own way of budgeting and planning.

Chile has not done gender budgeting but has taken important steps to
integrate the recognition of gender impact of public policies, especially
on new programs.
