3. The concept of gender in Burkina FasoIn Burkina Faso "Gender must be analyzed from the perspective of inequalities and disparities between men and women by examining different social categories with the aim of achieving greater social justice and equitable development." (PNG 2009-2019, taken over by the SNG 2020-2024)
4. In Burkina Faso, the NGP (National Gender Policy) assessment shows that gender inequalities are still a matter of concern and in all areas of development.Which explains the importance of:The ministry to ensure compliance of its commitments towards its target audience to reduce gender inequalities, and capitalize on its contribution to the government's overall commitment.The parliament to ensure parliamentary authorization and to exercise its control over government actions as to taking into account the priority needs of the populations.The citizen to be informed of the actions of each ministry to reduce gender inequalities.
5. In the context of gender-responsive budgeting, the ministries that carry the related public policies are responsible for the budget programmes that take this theme into account, the other ministries being able to contribute to it through specific actions.NB: Whether the ministry is carrying out a programme, an action or simply an activity that has repercussions on gender, it must define indicators that will allow its contribution to the national or sectoral objectives set on gender to be measured.All departments are engaged in the GRB process.
6. The GRB approach in Burkina FasoGender-responsive budgeting has been operational in Burkina Faso since 2019 at the level of the State budget. It is led by the Ministry of Finance and that of Women. Following a results-based management approach, the country has opted for a principle of gradual changeover by different ministries.This principle made it possible to take into account six (06) ministries in 2019, eighteen (18) in 2020 and twenty (20) for the year 2021. Today, Burkina Faso is about to cover all ministerial departments.Indeed, all ministerial departments will be affected by GRB in 2022.How was this approach operationalized in Burkina Faso?
