In this lecture
- Correct the most common misunderstanding of GRB
- Explain what a gender-responsive budget actually contains
- Locate GRB inside the existing budget cycle
It is not a separate budget
The most persistent misconception about gender-responsive budgeting is that it means setting aside a fund earmarked for women. This opening lecture corrects that directly: GRB is a method for examining and adjusting the whole budget - every vote, not a new one - for who it actually reaches.
The same rupee, read differently
A road maintenance budget line looks gender-neutral until it is read against who walks, who drives, and whose unpaid care journeys depend on the footpath rather than the carriageway. GRB does not add spending; it changes how existing spending is examined and, where the reading shows a gap, adjusted.
