MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This study focuses on the implementation of gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) in the Philippines, particularly in Region IX. The study provides a comparative review of the impacts of GRB on the different LGUs in the region. Through case studies on the performance of Zamboanga Peninsula and Zamboanga City in implementing GRB, as well as the most and least compliant municipalities in the region, the study identifies best practices and challenges in GRB implementation. It recommends ten strategies to improve GRB implementation, including developing a gender-responsive budget manual, strengthening gender analysis and planning, and increasing the participation of women in the budget process. The study also emphasizes the importance of political will, leadership, and capacity-building to achieve successful GRB implementation. The study contributes to the literature on GRB in the Philippines, particularly in the context of regional implementation. It highlights the need for further research and evaluation to enhance the effectiveness of GRB in promoting gender equality and women's empowerment. The study also emphasizes the significance of adopting a feminist public administration perspective in GRB implementation, which emphasizes the role of government in addressing gender inequalities and promoting women's rights.
