In this lecture
- Report against the indicators set earlier in the cycle
- Route a report to where it is actually read
- Use a completed report to strengthen the next year's ask
Uncounted spending cannot be defended
Spending that is not tagged and reported as gender-responsive cannot be counted at the national level, and an institution that cannot demonstrate its own record is in a weak position when the next budget round is negotiated. This closing lecture builds an upward report from the indicators, baselines and costings set earlier in the module, and follows it to where it is actually read in the budget cycle.
Last year's report is next year's evidence
A completed, well-evidenced gender budget report is the strongest argument for the following year's allocation - it is proof the previous investment worked, rather than a promise that the next one will. Institutions that report consistently tend to be trusted with larger, less-scrutinised allocations over time.
