National Consultant on Gender Responsive Budgeting

UN Women’s GRB activities have been built on its 2015 Report by UN Women titled ‘Gender Responsive Budgeting in Viet Nam’ which proposed a road-map for reform and provides guiding principles for how to apply GRB in sectoral interventions in the Viet Nam context. In the past few years, UN Women developed guidance for GRB through sectoral interventions such as: GRB guidance for People’s Council during the regular monitoring activities, GRB guidance in poverty reduction programme in ethnic minority regions, recommendations for the application of GRB in transport sector in Viet Nam.  UN Women has targeted its efforts in developing GRB for key stakeholders, including local government staff in Ho Chi Minh city, local staff working on poverty reductions of selected provinces. Around 150 staff have been trained on how to apply GRB in their planning process. Their experience and challenges in GRB applications were shared at the national workshop chaired by UN Women and Parliament Committee on Social Affairs.
