Content

In the order a learner meets it. Each block is a separate thing to write, and their order is the lecture's argument.

  1. Block 1 · text

    The circular already tells you what it wants

    Budget circulars increasingly state their gender-responsive requirements directly - a disaggregation requirement, a mandatory statement, a specific annex. Missing a stated requirement is an avoidable rejection, not a technical judgment call, and a checklist against the circular's own text catches most of them.

  2. Block 2 · text

    The three reasons submissions come back

    In practice, most GRB submissions are returned for the same three reasons: no baseline data, a claim with no evidence behind it, or a gender budget statement that restates the budget without analysis. Checking a draft against these three before submission clears most of a review cycle.
