This joint project builds on lessons learned from previous UN Women’s support to the Government on GRB3s and It will further leverage on UN Women’s national and global expertise on GRB. The GRB component will facilitate the enhancement of transparency and accountability of the Government’s budget, including the resources generated through innovative financing sub-projects.

Both innovative financing and GRB component will be aligned with the on-going Public Finance Management (PFM) reform. GRB brings much-needed analytical tools to the PFM reform, thus contributing to:

Better data collection: the requirement for sex-disaggregated data and gender analysis of budget programmes can significantly contribute to the ongoing collection of data about budget programmes and their results.
Improved indicators for budget programmes: GRB work usually contributes to better performance indicators and understanding of programme results, and by introducing gender indicators enables the monitoring of budget programmes’ impact on men and women and different social groups.
Improved efficiency, by ensuring expenditure benefits those who need it most.
Improved monitoring of results/achievements.
Improved budgetary decision-making processes, by engaging a wider range of society’s interests and improving their capacity for budgeting and policymaking.
