In this lecture
- Structure a gender budget statement
- Support each claim with data
- Avoid a statement that restates the budget without analysis
Analysis, not a restated budget
A gender budget statement that lists spending by ministry without analysing who it reaches is rejected as often as it is approved. This lecture builds a statement from a real sector budget, showing the analysis a treasury officer is actually checking for underneath the required format.
Every claim needs a number behind it
'This programme benefits women and men equally' is a claim, not evidence. A statement that instead says '58% of participants in 2025 were women, against a target beneficiary population that is 51% women' gives a reviewer something to check, and something that survives scrutiny.
