Guidelines for Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) in Kenya

The guidelines assist in the mainstreaming of gender considerations in the planning and budget formulation processes, as well as in the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the same. The guidelines assist technical officers and policy arm of government in understanding what the concept of ‘Mainstreaming in Planning’ entails, as well as enabling them and stakeholders to track the outcomes of their efforts. The ultimate goal is to make sure the budgeting process in Kenya is equally responsive to needs and priorities of women, men, girls and boys, respectively.
