Notes:
An ex-ante assessment of the social impact of expenditure policy proposals is not coordinated in central institutions (neither in the Ministries of Finance or Culture, nor in the line ministry). Analysis of a sample of proposals in relevant sectors included in the Executive’s budget proposal show that gender analysis is carried out for some budget policy proposals; however, the share of proposals subject to a gender analysis is far less than 25% of the proposals assessed and these represent an unknown share of expenditure. Consequently, a D* score is provided for this dimension.

Notes:
An ex-ante assessment of the social impact of revenue policy proposals is not coordinated in central institutions (neither in the Ministries of Finance or Culture, nor in the line ministry). Quantitative information is thus not available. A qualitative assessment provides sufficient evidence to justify a D score for this dimension.

Notes:

Notes:
No quantitative data is available on the extent to which robust appraisal methods, based on economic analysis, of feasibility or prefeasibility studies for major investment projects include analysis of the impacts on gender.

The Executive’s budget proposal, the “yellow book” (Gul bok), contains some performance data on planned activities, outputs or outcomes for the prioritised service delivery programmes, but none of these are sex-disaggregated.

Notes:
Statistical data are used extensively in the performance reporting on the state of equality in society across the main service delivery sectors.

Notes:

Notes:
In the current performance monitoring and measurement system in place, no budget line item or programme expenditure is mapped ex post to specific gender outcomes.

Notes:

Notes:
Two of the listed types of information are presented and published annually:•a report on gender equality outcomes, and •sex-disaggregated data on budgetary central government employment.

Notes:

Notes:
Limited attention to gender impacts of service delivery have been given in publicly available evaluations carried out over the past three years.
