Gender Budgeting in der Verwaltung
Action: Gender Budgeting in Public Administration
Aims and objectives
The objective is to pinpoint implications for gender relations, to shift priorities and to redistribute resources. The ultimate goal is to develop a gender-sensitive and a gender-equitable budget.
Results and impact
All ministries have already set up their specific gender-related objectives, measures and indicators. It is foreseen that these gender objectives are to be monitored by the Court of Audit on an annual basis. Budgeting decisions are key decisions and, with the new regulation as of the 1st of January 2013, budgeting can act a lever for gender equality.
