Gender Budgeting: State of Play and way forward - Hearing - 20.6.2018
Altiero Spinelli, room 5G3, Brussels
The Council of Europe defines gender budgeting as a 'gender based assessment of budgets incorporating a gender perspective at all levels of the budgetary process and restructuring revenues and expenditures in order to promote gender equality'. The FEMM Committee discussed this sensitive issue especially in the framework of the future MFF and in relation to the implementation of the Daphne program.
The hearing counted the participation of researchers and practitioners in the field of budgeting, gender and social affairs. The outcome of the event provided a key input for an oral question and a resolution to be tabled on behalf of FEMM.
