Status of Women committee The report is actually available on the Commonwealth website. I could also send it through tomorrow morning so that everybody can have it. I think Uganda was one of the most impressive countries. India is interesting, but they are doing this in a situation where they have very old-fashioned line item budgeting.

Status of Women committee It is required by Parliament that after the budget is tabled, all the committees discuss the budget. This committee, like all the other committees, is meant to submit a report on their views on the budget. The complication for this committee is that all the other committees are sectoral committees, so they concentrate on the health budget or whatever budget.

Status of Women committee I'm going to talk this evening as both a South African and someone who has assisted over 20 countries, as well as international agencies, with gender-responsive budgeting. Some of what I say will be about South Africa, and some will be what I think I've learned from working in other countries, mainly developing countries like Africa and Asia, but also some other parts of the world.
