This document discusses integrating a gender perspective into program performance budgeting (PPB) in Ukraine. It outlines the main objectives of PPB as promoting allocative and operational efficiency. Integrating gender budgeting (GRB) can help ensure budgets and policies meet the needs of different social groups. The document provides examples of how GRB was applied in Ukraine, including amending programs, budgets, and indicators to disaggregate data by gender. It also discusses further steps to institutionalize GRB through guidance materials and training on applying a gender lens to the budget process.

budgeting: PPB from gender
perspective - results and benefits"

2. Modern PFM reforms
Main objectives of modern PFM systems:
1. Aggregate fiscal discipline to achieve effective control over budget
totals;
2. Promote allocative efficiency whereby resources are allocated
(and re-allocated) in accord with government priorities;
3. Promote operational efficiency or the cost efficient delivery of
services (WB, 1998).
The (new) role MF has in leading the process towards social
impact of fiscal policy for societies and individuals. The budget is
increasingly being seen as a tool to promote government
accountability and effectiveness, rather than simply as a vehicle for
allocating resources and controlling expenditures.

3. How is it done?
1. Introduction of service delivery focused
economy
2. Introduction of medium-term fiscal
framework
3. Performance oriented budgets and program
budgeting.

4. Gender Responsive Budgeting
GRB “a means for determining the effect of
government revenue and expenditure policies
on women and men” (Budlender et al 2002:
52) and on gender relations.

5. All GRB approaches
All GRB frameworks seek to:
1. integrate performance elements into their
frameworks through the use of gender
disaggregated indicators
2. assess budget and policy plans against actual
allocations and program implementation
3. provide information for monitoring progress
towards increased gender responsiveness and
equality.

6. Challenging “neutral” budgets

7. Performance oriented budgets and
program budgeting
• Programs are the units by which performance is to be defined
and measured within the budget, and resources are allocated
and evaluated.
• The basic idea of program budgeting : budget information
(financial and non-financial) and decisions should be
structured according to the expected results (outputs or
outcomes or both)
• PPB and GRB as both focus on results and a broader cycle of
policy planning, implementation and evaluation

8. History of introducing performance in
budgeting process

OECD countries, %?

10. PPB and GRB
MAIN OBJECTIVES OF PPB MAINSTREAMING GENDER PERSPECTIVE
INTO PBB
Budget decisions based on objectives,
needs, priorities and planned results of
budget resources
Gender analysis of programs gives
information on needs and priorities of
beneficiaries (women, man- and
different groups of man, women)
Programs designed to meet social and
economic development priorities
(sector strategies)
Establishing clear link between GE
strategies and priorities and budget
allocations
Performance indicators measure
progress against strategic priorities and
program objectives
Gender indicators provide for improved
measures of results towards priorities
and objectives
Facilitates more effective prioritization
of scarce budget resources
Provides better information for
prioritization

13. Steps of gender budget analysis
using as an example the oblast target social program for development of
physical training and sports in Kirovograd oblast for 2012-2016
Step 1
• Identifying gender issues in the sector:
situation analysis
Step 2
• Baseline: collecting information about
programs you want to analyze
Step 3
• Conducting gender analysis of activities
(measures, services)
Step 4
• Conducting gender analysis of budget
expenditures
Step 5
• Developing objectives and recommendations
to improve gender equality
Only 13% of Ukraine’s population
are engaged in physical training and
sports; limited number of sports;
division into ‘female’ and ‘male’
sports
Program goal and objectives,
service recipients, program
implementers, amount of
expenditures
CYSSs in Kirovohrad oblast provide
services on 21 Olympic sports, 11 non-
Olympic sports, and 10 sports for people
with disabilities; football prevails among
boys….
UAH 30.3 m spent on boys’ training at
CYSSs while UAH 10.8 m spent for girls
(number of boys attending CYSSs is 2.8
greater than number of girls)
Conduct awareness-raising
actions to popularize sports,
especially among girls

14. Key steps of amending programs and budgets
Step 6
•Making changes in policies and
budgets
Step 7
•Monitoring and evaluation

15. Legislative amendments adopted with GRB Project’s support,

18. PFM System Reform Strategy (2017-2021) with gender
perspective integrated (excerpt)
2. Program performance budgeting
Goal: Program performance budgeting is a tool to make efficient management decisions and use public funds in
an efficient way. Integration of the gender responsive approach into the budget process shall ensure
improvement of efficiency and quality of provided public services with account of social groups’ needs,
including in terms of gender, and shall allow for stronger accountability of spending units and budget
transparency.
Objective 3. Optimization of budget programs and reinforcement of linkages with strategic goals
The system of performance indicators shall continue to be improved for clear presentation of the level of
achievement of strategic goals and benefits for public service recipients, including through implementation of
the gender responsive approach.
3. Interbudget relations and fiscal decentralization
Goal: Building a capable, efficient, transparent and accountable system of local finance management aimed at
achieving goals of sustainable economic and social development.
This process shall encourage local governments to strengthen their own fiscal base and adopt advanced finance
management methods, including in terms of application of gender responsive approach elements.

19. Further steps towards institutionalization of GRB in
Ukraine
As part of cooperation with the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the Institute for Budgetary and Socio-
Economic Research and the GRB Project are developing
Guidance (training) manual on PPB for key spending units –
RESULT-ORIENTED BUDGET
Together with the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the GRB Project is developing the Methodological
Guidelines on GRB application by key spending units.
This document will provide guidance for all institutions and
organizations in their work on gender budget analysis and gender budgeting
within the framework of public finance management (PFM) in Ukraine.
