The Zimbabwe gender budgeting experience

The national budget of a country is the most important policy of government because without money government cannot implement any other policy successfully. Looking at budgets through a gender lens shows clearly where the collection and distribution of public money is unequal and inefficient. Gender budget initiatives stress reprioritization within and across sectors, rather than an increase in overall government expenditure. It was initiated in Zimbabwe as a way of advancing equality of women.
