Introducing our project website: Gender Responsive Budgeting in the Asia-Pacific Region

 

We are pleased to introduce you to our project website – Gender responsive budgeting in the Asia-Pacific region (www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/genderbudgets). 

The website documents the outcomes of a two-year research project funded an Australian Development Research Award of AusAID. The project is a collaboration between Rhonda Sharp (University of South Australia), Diane Elson (University of Essex) and Siobhan Austen (Curtin University of Technology). It also has involved several other researchers including Monica Costa, Sanjugta Vas Dev, Jan Edwards, Ray Broomhill, Anuradha Mundkur and Reina Ichii.

The aim of the project is to investigate the practices and potential of gender-responsive budgeting in selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region. We hope that a website on gender responsive budgeting that is specific to the region will foster debate and provide a comparative understanding of how gender sensitive public finances has been implemented.

The website includes:

·         information about the research project, its activities and the research team,

·         country profiles of gender responsive budgeting for most countries in the region,

·         publications and training materials on gender responsive budgeting produced by the research team.

The research team would like to thank those of you who have provided assistance to the project by sharing information about progress on gender responsive budgeting for different countries. Our analysis has benefitted from this cooperation.

The website is a work -in-progress. The country profiles will be progressively uploaded and completed by May 2010.

To make this website an up-to-date resource we encourage you to submit your comments on current developments, initiatives and new research findings on gender responsive budgeting in the Asia-Pacific region. Your updates will be included on the website.

We look forward to your visit!
