Green Growth Knowledge Partnership Created an Event 4 years ago ACCA Webinar - Gender-Responsive Budgeting and the COVID-19 Economic Recovery: A Toolkit for the Public Sector Finance Profession 10 MAR 2021 Register Association of Chartered Certified Accountants(ACCA) On 10 March 2021 at 11:00am (CET), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is hosting a webinar on 'Gender-Responsive Budgeting and the COVID-19 Economic Recovery: A Toolkit for the Public Sector Finance Profession'.One of the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a notable exacerbation of gender inequality. Women have suffered disproportionally in the labour market, unpaid and informal economies and for women in other marginalised communities, the impacts have been substantially worse. The economic recovery packages that follow the pandemic must account for these gendered consequences and help redress the disparities that are still widening. This webinar seeks to provide public finance professionals with the tools they need to do just this; ensure economic recovery packages are receptive, responsive and inclusive of gender and to provide an understanding of the differences gender can play in the economy. Specifically it will look at:The impacts of COVID-19 on gender inequality in the economy and society generallyThe background and justification for gender-responsive budgeting in light of these widening inequalitiesThe underlying conditions required to ensure GRB is effectiveThe entry points of GRB in policy and budget cycles – when and how to include GRB at each stage of the cycleHow public finance professionals can play a key role in ensuring GRB is designed, implemented and evaluated effectivelySpeakers:Rachel Bleetman - Research and Policy Manager, ACCASamantha Hung - Chief of Gender Equity Thematic Group, Asian Development Bank Share Share on Facebook Share on Twitter LinkedIn Add this Repost 0 likes 0 comments
