Question

• A. Excessive focus on women’s exclusive schemes
• B. Declining budget allocations and insufficient resources
• C. Lack of support from international organizations
• D. Over-reliance on technology-based monitoring

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Declining budget allocations and insufficient resources

• One major challenge faced by GBCs is the decline in budget allocations for gender-related programs and the lack of dedicated human resources to implement gender-focused interventions.

• This has impacted the effectiveness of gender budgeting as the resources required to carry out meaningful analysis and interventions are limited.
