Questions

The correct answer and its explanation are shown together here so you can check them at a glance - neither is ever shown to a learner attempting the quiz, right or wrong.

  1. 1. What is the main weakness of a gender budget statement that lists spending by ministry with no further comment?

    • It is too long
    • It restates the budget without analysing who it reachesCorrect
    • It omits the treasury's letterhead
    • It uses too many numbers

    A statement that lists figures without analysis is rejected as often as it is approved - reviewers are checking for analysis, not a restated budget.

  2. 2. Where does most sex-disaggregated administrative data actually come from?

    • A dedicated national household survey
    • Existing beneficiary registers and attendance records not yet analysed by sexCorrect
    • Data purchased from a private vendor
    • It generally does not exist anywhere

    Beneficiary registers and attendance sheets are frequently already collected by sex, even where nobody has analysed them that way yet.

  3. 3. Why does uncounted gender-responsive spending weaken an institution's next budget request?

    • It has no effect on future requests
    • A completed, evidenced report is the strongest argument for the next allocation, and uncounted spending provides noneCorrect
    • It triggers an automatic audit
    • It reduces the pass mark for future submissions

    A well-evidenced report is proof the previous investment worked. Spending that was never tagged and reported cannot be used to make that case.

  4. 4. What is the most common misunderstanding about gender-responsive budgeting?

    • That it requires new legislation
    • That it means setting aside a separate fund for womenCorrect
    • That it only applies to health and education
    • That it cannot be audited

    GRB is a method for examining and adjusting the whole budget for who it reaches - it does not create a separate, earmarked fund.

Written questions

Optional - a lecture is complete without any. Add two-to-three sentence explanation questions where the multiple-choice quiz cannot tell whether an idea actually landed - as soon as one exists, a learner must pass it at 70%, the same platform-wide mark as the quiz, before the next lecture opens.

  1. 1. In two or three sentences: why can spending that is not tagged and reported as gender-responsive not be counted at the national level?

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: Spending that is not tagged and reported as gender-responsive cannot be counted at the national level. An institution that cannot demonstrate its own record is in a weak position at the next budget negotiation.

  2. 2. In two or three sentences: why is last year's completed report the strongest argument for next year's allocation?

    evidenceproofprevious investmenttrusted

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: A completed, well-evidenced report is proof the previous investment worked, not just a promise the next one will. Institutions that report consistently tend to be trusted with larger allocations over time.
