Што е родово одговорно буџетирање?

Родово одговорно буџетирање (РОБ) е стратегија која се фокусира на интегрирање на родовата перспектива во планирањето на буџетот, спроведувањето на буџетот и известувањето за буџетот.

РОБ има за цел да се подобри еднаквоста помеѓу жените и мажите врз основа на родова анализа во секоја фаза од буџетскиот процес. Тоа значи буџетот да ги рефлектира различните потреби на мажите и жените, да се спроведат буџетски мерки од кои корист ќе имаат мажите и жените и ќе се затворат определени јазови на родова нееднаквост кои постојат; но и известувањето за тоа како се трошеле јавните пари да вклучува информација како спроведениот буџет влијаел на статус на мажите и жените како и на родовата нееднаквост.

Оттука на родовиот буџет не треба да се гледа како на дополнителен или одделен буџет за жени, туку како начин за подобро планирање и буџетирање врз основа на конкретни докази за родовата нееднаквост и како буџетот влијае на нејзино намалување.
