GRB and PEFA

degree to which a country’s PFM system is gender responsive

• Voluntary
• Based on emerging global good practice

Supplementary Framework For Assessing GRB

• GRB—1. GENDER IMPACT ANALYSIS OF BUDGET POLICY PROPOSALS
• GRB—2. GENDER IMPACT ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT PROJECTS
• GRB—3. GENDER RESPONSIVE BUDGET CIRCULAR
• GRB—4. GENDER RESPONSIVE BUDGET DOCUMENTATION
• GRB—5. SEX-DISAGGREGATED PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR SERVICE DELIVERY
• GRB—6. TRACKING BUDGET EXPENDITURE FOR GENDER EQUALITY
• GRB—7. GENDER SENSITIVE PROCUREMENT
• GRB—8. GENDER INFORMATIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS
• GRB—9. EVALUATION OF IMPACTS OF SERVICE DELIVERY ON GENDER EQUALITY
• GRB—10. GENDER RESPONSIVE LEGISLATIVE SCRUTINY

SCORE LEVEL OF GRB PRACTICE A Gender equality analysis is mainstreamed in the relevant PFM institution, processes, or system. B Gender equality analysis is partially mainstreamed in the relevant PFM institution, processes, or system. C Initial efforts have taken place to mainstream gender equality analysis in the relevant PFM institution, process, or system. D Gender considerations are not included in the relevant PFM institution, processes, or system; or performance is less than required for a C score.

Opportunities and Challenges

• Opportunities:
• Project management
• Inception: Analysis of political economy
• Policy dialogue
• Relevance of PEFA
• Challenges:
• Fragile PFM systems, limited capacities and data constraints
• Discussion question: What should be the approach in these contexts:

Individual indicators? Individual stages of budget cycle?

• Emerging global practice: good practice vs. best practice
• Agnostic tool vs. policy goals
