Policy

"Gender Budgeting should start from the planning process so that women benefit the most. Only then will allocation of finance equal the labour put in by women, in all the different sectors that directly relate to them. Government has schemes that focus on the individual and those that focus on families. While women are very much part of families, there is a need to consider more individual focused schemes for women, rather than believing that all family-focused schemes will also benefit women." (September, 2013).
