This Newsletter seeks to encourage knowledge sharing from Gender Budget Initiatives around the world, share news on progress made in incorporating a gender perspective into budgeting, and inform practitioners of new resources and publications on GRB. The newsletter aims to reach out to the community of development practitioners, gender advocates, policy makers, government and non-governmental actors. Each issue will shed light on the efforts of specific actors in relation to GRB, demonstrate the application of GRB in a particular area, and highlight a specific country or regional programme supported by UNIFEM or other agencies.
