Registration Open for Advanced Course on Gender Responsive Budgeting 6 June 2017 Gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) is a concept and a practical approach widely used in developed and developing countries in the last 35 years. It can serve as a tool to achieve the triple objective of promoting development, promoting gender equality and fulfill human rights.
