About the Course
Plans and budgets are among the most powerful institutional instruments for turning gender commitments into action. When gender analysis is absent from planning and public-finance decisions, apparently neutral allocations can reproduce unequal access to services, opportunities and resources.
This course develops practical capability in gender-responsive planning and budgeting (GRB). Participants link gender analysis to policy priorities, programme design, budget classification, benefit incidence, expenditure tracking, performance indicators, accountability and budget advocacy. The course is applicable to government, development programmes, NGOs and other institutions managing public or programme resources.
Participants work with realistic plans and budget extracts. They develop a gender-responsive planning matrix, budget appraisal, priority interventions, gender budget statement, performance indicators and a GRB implementation roadmap that can be adapted to institutional budgeting cycles.
Target Participants
Government planners and budget officers; finance professionals; gender focal points; programme managers; policy analysts; parliament or oversight staff; NGO and development-agency personnel; M&E professionals and consultants working on public finance or programme budgeting.
Course Duration
- Classroom – 5 Days
- Online – 7 Days
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Apply gender analysis to planning and budgeting decisions.

- Develop gender-responsive objectives, activities and budget lines.
- Use basic benefit-incidence and expenditure-tracking approaches.
- Design gender budget statements and performance indicators.
- Strengthen accountability and stakeholder participation in GRB.
- Prepare an institutional GRB implementation roadmap.

Training Approach
The course uses budget-document review, practical appraisal exercises, simplified incidence analysis, stakeholder simulations, and hands-on development of gender budget statements. Participants are encouraged to work with real or realistic planning and budget material.
Exercises emphasize the link between gender evidence, policy choices, resource allocation, and measurable results, helping participants move beyond tagging expenditure as “gender related.”
Organizational Benefits
- Improves alignment between gender commitments and resource allocation.
- Strengthens evidence-based planning and budgeting.
- Supports identification of distributional impacts of expenditure.
- Improves monitoring of gender-related allocations and results.
- Strengthens accountability across planning, finance and programme teams.
- Provides practical GRB tools suitable for annual planning cycles.
Certification
Participants who successfully complete this course will receive a Certificate of Course Completion from Devimpact Institute, recognizing the knowledge, practical skills and competencies developed through the programme.
Customization Options
This course can be customized and delivered as an in-house programme to address the specific policies, systems, sector context and capacity-development priorities of an organization. The course duration, modules, case studies and practical exercises may be adjusted following a training needs assessment.
