I think in many ways, in a certain sense, the term “gender budget” is a misnomer. It implies that the budget is now totally different, done in a different way from before it was a gender budget, and now that it is....
Some of you have used the term “lens”, and I think that's appropriate. To me, it's an approach to budget analysis and to allocating funds and it's a lens with which to examine it. But again, it can fit with existing budget formats.
If I were a budget officer for your central government, my concern would be, “Okay, now what do I do? Does this mean I have to change the format of the budget that we're doing?”
Again, I think if you don't have to change the forms too much in order to comply, then it's much easier for the analysts and the people in the agencies. I would urge you to keep it as simple as possible, to use it as a lens, an approach, a method of analysis, but it's not really a different format.
