The following country summaries outline the main findings of the country research conducted under the European Commission (EC)/UNIFEM programme "Integrating Gender Responsive Budgeting into the Aid Effectiveness Agenda". The three-year programme is funded by the European Commission (EC) and consists of research and programmatic technical assistance. The country summaries brief is one of the five knowledge briefs produced by UNIFEM in 2010 under the EC/UNIFEM programme Integrating Gender Responsive Budgeting into the Aid Effectiveness Agenda.

This Issues Brief published by the DAC NETWORK on Gender Equality in October 2010 is on the integration of a gender equality perspective into public financial management (PFM) in partner countries. It suggests ways of using the techniques of gender-responsive budgeting (GRB).

This paper by Simel Esim (2000) explores the revenue side of gender budgeting. Esim also discusses policies and suggests strategies for gender-sensitive budgeting.

In this paper, Simel Esim (2000) focuses on expenditure and revenue instruments of fiscal policy as strategic entry points for engendering macroeconomics. The paper also includes a discussion of the potential implications of monetary policy and overall fiscal stance on poverty and gender equality.

The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (PD) commits donors and partner countries to reform aid management and delivery in order to strengthen its development outcomes. Through the Declaration, development partners commit to implementing common arrangements for planning, funding, disbursing, monitoring, evaluating and reporting on donor activities and aid flows at country level. To respond to these requirements, donors have collectively put in place a number of mechanisms to better coordinate and manage aid.

The Health Rights of Women Assessment Instrument (HeRWAI) is a tool developed by the Humanist Committee on Human Rights (HOM) in 2006 to enhance lobbying activities for better implementation of women's health rights. A HeRWAI analysis links what actually happens with what should happen according to the human rights obligations of a country.

The paper suggests how the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS), developed and implemented in 14 countries over the last ten years with financial support from the Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC), can be used to facilitate gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) at the local level.  In particular, it looks at how CBMS can be used to support local-level GRB (LLGRB) initiatives of civil society and local government.
