“…Gender disaggregated statistics and equality indicators are equally important management tools to promote gender equality (Stone et al 1999;Beveridge et al 2000). Gender budgeting is a key tool (Elson 1998;Sharp 1999;Budlender et al 2002;Sharp and Broomhill 2002), and one that has developed in over forty countries, in particular Sweden and Canada.…”

“…In practice this can be hard to achieve, since 'people often feel left out if they do not have a statistical background' (Dechman, 1999: 39). The experience of women's budget initiatives in Australia confirms that this is a problem, as the budget statements did not meet with a good response from women's groups, who were put off by the form in which they were published (Sharp and Broomhill, 2002). Thus, though there appears to be a consensus about the need for 'valid and reliable data' for women 'to have a voice in the formulation of national' policies (Perrons, 1999: 113), there are challenges in making such data accessible.…”

EnglishThis article focuses on the experience of developing gender equality indicators in the UK and Republic of Ireland and on the challenges confronting policy makers in mainstreaming gender equality into public policies. It identifies the internationalisation of gender equality as a critical pressure on governments to address gender mainstreaming, and summarises the literature on gender equality indicators as a policy response to this demand. It reflects on experiences in the UK and Ireland in developing gender equality indicators and concludes with a discussion of methodological and political challenges confronting policy makers in incorporating gender mainstreaming into general policy concerns. FrançaisCet article se concentre sur l'expérience du développement des indicateurs d'égalité des sexes au Royaume Uni et en Irlande du sud, et sur les défis auxquels font face les dirigeants lorsqu'ils intègrent l'égalité des sexes dans la politique générale.

Il examine les expériences au RU et en Irlande de développement des indicateurs de l'égalité des sexes et conclut avec une discussion sur les défis méthodologiques et politiques auxquels se heurtent les dirigeants en incorporant l'intégration de l'égalité des sexes dans des préoccupations de politique générale.

“…It demonstrates that gender analysis cannot stand alone, but must be supported by a strategy to be integrated into the budget decision-making processes so that it influences policies and their funding. In doing so, it emphasizes that GRB is as much a political process as it is a technical exercise, and its integration into decision-making processes is critical for GRB to reach its potential in practice (Rhonda Sharp and Ray Broomhill 2002).…”

Gender-disaggregated expenditure incidence analysis (EIA) is a tool for assessing the gender responsiveness of budgets and policies. However, to date there has been a limited take-up of gender-disaggregated EIA in policy and budget decision making. Using data from the 2007 Timor-Leste Living Standards Survey (TLLSS) and interviews and discussions with stakeholders, this paper conducts an EIA of expenditures on public schools and discusses the effectiveness of this analysis as an input into budget decision making. While gender-disaggregated EIA can assist in identifying gender gaps, its potential can only be fulfilled when combined with additional gender analysis and supported by a deep understanding of budget decision-making processes and the actors involved. The gender-disaggregated EIA of Timor-Leste's educational spending confirmed its usefulness as an indicator of inequalities in educational expenditure. However, a range of political, cultural, and technical barriers constrains the use of gender-disaggregated EIA in policy and budget decision making.
