About the product
This booklet builds upon the materials prepared for the “economic literacy” presentations at the meeting of the UN Commission on the Status of Women in 2008. It strives to provide a wide variety of actors, in particular government and civil society advocates for gender equality, a better understanding on the links between gender equality, public policy formation and development financing. It also examines national budgets and planning processes, gives an overview of relevant international commitments, comments upon the Monterrey Consensus and the Paris Declaration, and provides advocacy tools to reposition gender equality and the empowerment of women as central to development and its financing. It is available online.
