  DLSU-ANGELO KING INSTITUTE FOR ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS STUDIES
Developing and Piloting a Gender Responsive Community-based Planning and Budgeting Tool for Local Governance  
Project Leader:  Dr. Celia Reyes
Funding Agency:  
International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
Duration:  March 2006–May 2009


The Philippines is one of the first to pass a law on gender and budgeting.  However, the implementation of the law was noted to have been inconsistent and half hearted.  Particularly, GAD budgeting is not integrated into the overall planning and budgeting cycles of government agencies.  One of the recommendations to address these issues in the country is the need for a comprehensive monitoring system.  Monitoring will ensure that allocated money is spent, and will check whether the expenditure has made a difference in the lives of women and men, girls and boys.
 
While a variety of tools have been developed at the national level, tools for gender budget analysis at the local level remain fairly limited.  One of the major problems encountered by local level gender responsive budget (LLGRB) practitioners is the lack of data that can be used for gender responsive budgeting.  There seems however to be a potentially good fit for CBMS and LLGRB.  As such, CBMS has undertaken the project on LLGRB because CBMS can complement the objectives of GRB by providing a regular source of necessary gender disaggregated data that can indicate issues that need to be addressed and prioritized in the budgeting process. Among the major outputs of the project is the development  and pilot test of the CBMS-GRB training module and a book on the use of CBMS for local level gender responsive budgeting.
