About this programme
Integrating gender perspectives into planning, budgeting, and policy development is essential for promoting equality and achieving inclusive development outcomes. Gender statistics provide the evidence base needed to identify disparities, while gender budgeting ensures that resources are allocated equitably to address these gaps.
This course equips participants with practical knowledge and tools to generate, analyze, and apply gender statistics, as well as to design and implement gender-responsive budgets. Through interactive sessions, hands-on exercises, and applied examples, participants will gain the skills to link data with policy and financing decisions that advance gender equality.
