UNDP is supporting countries where there are real synergies between PRSP, MDGs and gender budgeting. Ongoing activities include the mapping of gender sensitive budget initiatives around the world (with GTZ), codification of knowledge for country offices to build on the work of UNIFEM and other partners (with BRIDGE), and training of a pool of experts in the regions to respond to the increasing demands from countries for expertise in gender sensitive budgets (with support from the Government of Japan).

(see also entries for UNIFEM Arab States Regional Office and the Andean Region)

UNIFEM are one of the three partners in the Gender Responsive Budget Initiative (along with IDRC and the Commonwealth Secretariat). See their web resource under Web Resources for further information.

Working with CASE and GETNET, UNIFEM have produced Money Matters: Workshop Materials on Gender and Government Budgets. Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. These are available in section 5 on Tools, Guidelines and Training Materials.

Sponsorship of a Workshop on Gender-responsive Budgeting in Pakistan (November 20-21, 2002) to begin a dialogue on gender budgets in the country. Government, non-government, academic, research and donor agencies attended. A draft strategic plan was developed, including a series of capacity-building workshops in 2003 targeted at these groups. All the papers presented are on the World Bank Institute site:

In 2002 the World Bank Institute designed and delivered a 3-hour training module in Moscow and St. Petersburg (for Russian Oblast government officials) on gender-responsive budgeting as part of a larger training programme on fiscal decentralisation. The World Bank Institute plans to put some of this training into distance learning modules, and expand this training to a larger number of regions in Russia. The course support materials are available online:

They have also developed a website on 'Gender, Public Finance, and Decentralization' containing many gender budget materials (see Web Resources section), including materials from the World Bank Institute's Workshop on Gender-responsive Budgeting (April 3, 2002):

The Institute is aiming to develop a series of training modules in gender, public finance and decentralisation, targeted at government agencies. Gender-responsive budgeting will be a core module.

At an interagency meeting in New York (November 2002) hosted by UNDP, the need to improve knowledge-sharing networks was identified. Roxanne Scott is currently putting together a proposal to the interagency group for the Institute's Global Distance Learning Network (GDLN) to support this process (http://www.gdln.org).
