Morocco has a long history of gender responsive budgeting work with sustained, high-level political will to address gender equality. Since the adoption of a new finance law in January 2014, the needs of women and girls are increasingly being reflected in how governments spend and the gender priorities are integrated throughout the budgeting process.

UN Women supported the establishment of Centers of Excellence on Gender-Responsive Budgeting in different regions to promote learning, innovation and exchange on GRB. These centers provide essential knowledge and tools and build technical capacity of government authorities to strengthen gender-responsive budgeting. There are three regional centers established to date: GRB Center of Excellence (GRB-CE) Morocco, GRB Center of Excellence for CIS and GRB Center of Excellence Mozambique.

Tracking financial allocations and monitoring how and where they are spent is key to increase accountability in financing for gender equality. The Canadian CSO AWID (Association for Women's Rights in Development) partnered with the Instituto del Tercer Mundo/Social Watch, feminist economists, other women’s rights organizations and research institutions to develop an innovative scorecard, FundHer, to assess donor funding and to address the changing landscape in development cooperation.
