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 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.

  2. 2. Why can a budget line written in gender-neutral language still be gender-unequal in effect?

    • Because budgets are always biased
    • Because who actually uses a service can differ sharply even when the line's wording does not name any groupCorrect
    • Because gender-neutral language is illegal
    • Because it is never checked

    'Agricultural extension services' sounds neutral, but if officers visit only during hours or channels one group can access, the line reaches groups very unevenly in practice.

  3. 3. 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.

  4. 4. 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.

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: what is the most common misunderstanding about gender-responsive budgeting?

    separate fundmisconceptionearmarkedwhole budget

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: The most persistent misconception about GRB is that it means setting aside a fund earmarked for women. It is instead a method for examining and adjusting the whole budget - every vote, not a new one - for who it reaches.

  2. 2. In two or three sentences: how can a gender-neutral-looking budget line, like road maintenance, still have an unequal effect?

    footpathcarriagewayunpaid carereads differently

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: A road maintenance line looks gender-neutral until read against who walks, who drives, and whose unpaid care journeys depend on the footpath rather than the carriageway - the same rupee reads differently depending who is asking.
