Gender Responsive Budgeting Newsletter - Issue 3 |
|
|
|
|
This issue of the Gender Responsive Budgeting newsletter examines participatory budgeting (PB) as one of the main strategies for securing public participation in local governance. We seek to understand if participatory budgeting experiences can be associated with increased presence of women in local decision-making processes and positive and sustainable gender equality outcomes. We highlight examples of PB initiatives that are argued to have successfully integrated gender concerns namely in Rosario, Argentina and Caroni, Venezuela. In our “Country focus” section, Lucia Perez Fragoso, a GRB expert from Mexico, takes us behind the scenes of the adoption of a gender responsive budget by the City of Mexico in 2008. Finally, the issue provides updates on GRB efforts around the world, upcoming GRB events and recent publications. _____________________________________________________________________ |
