Abstract
This report summarizes policy lessons from the project
Improving Gender Targeting of Public Expenditures
through Capacity Building. The project, funded by the
Bank-Netherlands Partnership Program between July
2007 and December 2009, has supported a combination
of analytical work and capacity building activities
in the area of Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) in
DRC, Liberia, and Rwanda, as well as a regional learning-
exchange workshop on gender-responsive budgeting
with participants from Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda,
and Uganda. The purpose of this policy note is to
provide a brief analysis of the key policy issues that
emerged from project activities in the three countries.
