Overall Indicator Score
GRPFM–1 Gender impact analysis of budget policy proposals
D
Notes:
GRPFM–1.1 Gender impact analysis of expenditure policy proposals
D
Notes:
The government’s expenditure proposals are contained in the Budget Policy Statements and annual budget speeches. A review of the expenditure policy proposals for the last completed year (2020/21) showed that the policy proposals do not contain a gender impact analysis. The performance is less than required for a C score. Therefore, the score for the dimension is a D.
GRPFM–1.2 Gender impact analysis of revenue policy proposals
D
Notes:
Revenue proposals are usually contained in the Budget Policy Statements and the annual Budget Speeches. A review of the revenue policy proposals that are contained in the budget policy statement and the budget speech for the last completed year (2020/21) showed that emphasis is on measures for raising additional revenue. There is no gender impact analysis of the revenue policy proposals. The performance is less than required for a C score. Therefore, the score for the dimension is D.
GRPFM–2 Gender responsive public investment management
D
Notes:
GRPFM–2.1 Gender responsive public investment management
D
Notes:
There are clear guidelines on public investment management that require an analysis of social impacts (that could include gender) as part of pre-feasibility and feasibility study. However, there is no evidence of gender analysis being undertaken.
GRPFM–3 Gender responsive budget circular
D
Notes:
GRPFM–3.1 Gender responsive budget circular
D
Notes:
The budget circular for 2020/21 does not require MDAs to undertake gender analysis of the planned programmes. It also does not require the MDAs to disaggregate data by sex.
GRPFM–4 Gender responsive budget proposal documentation
D
Notes:
GRPFM–4.1 Gender responsive budget proposal documentation
D
Notes:
A review of the sector reports for Agriculture, rural and urban development, education sector report and health sector reports for 2021/22 – 2023/2024 MTEF period reveals that there is no information on status of gender equality in the sector, specific measures to address gender equality and also an analysis of the impact of budget policies on gender equality. The key outputs and performance indicators are also not disaggregated by sex. Gender is also not identified as a cross-cutting issue in the sector reports.
GRPFM–5 Sex-disaggregated performance information for service delivery
D
Notes:
GRPFM–5.1 Sex-disaggregated performance plans for service delivery
D
Notes:
The information on performance plans is contained in annual sector reports that are prepared by Sector Working Groups (SWG) during the 1st phase of budget/MTEF preparation. The information is provided in tabular form by programme and sub-programme, with data on achieved outputs and performance indicators. However, the data on outputs and performance indicators is not disaggregated by sex.
GRPFM–5.2 Sex-disaggregated performance achieved for service delivery
D
Notes:
The information on service delivery is published annually as part of sector reports prepared by Sector Working Groups (SWG) during the 1st phase of budget/MTEF preparation. The information is provided in tabular form by programme and sub-programme, with data on achieved outputs and performance indicators. However, the reporting of service delivery is not disaggregated by sex.
GRPFM–6 Tracking budget expenditure for gender equality
D
Notes:
GRPFM–6.1 Tracking budget expenditure for gender equality
D
Notes:
The government uses the Standard Chart of Accounts in public sector accounting. While there are specific codes for votes, heads and sub-heads in IFMIS, the only gender related expenditure that can be tracked are the explicit budgetary allocations to the gender machineries (such as State Department for Gender and the National Gender and Equality Commission) and the affirmative action funds. There is no capacity to track gender related expenditure for the entire budget.
GRPFM–7 Gender responsive reporting
D
Notes:
GRPFM–7.1 Gender responsive reporting
D
Notes:
The government does not publish a specific report that provides information on either gender equality outcomes, gender-related expenditure, assessment of budget policies and their impacts on gender equality and sex-disaggregated data on central government employment. However, the government prepares periodic reports on various international commitments such as CEDAW, CSW and SDGs which have some information on gender-related outcomes. The budget reports do not contain any gender-related information. The score is D.
GRPFM–8 Evaluation of gender impacts of service delivery
D
Notes:
GRPFM–8.1 Evaluation of gender impacts of service delivery
D
Notes:
One of the independent evaluations of service delivery is undertaken by the public service commission through performance contracting reports. The reports do not include an assessment of gender impacts even though they have a specific section that looks at gender mainstreaming and gender sensitive procurement. The score is therefore a D.
GRPFM–9 Legislative scrutiny of gender impacts of the budget
D
Notes:
GRPFM–9.1 Gender-responsive legislative scrutiny of budgets
D
Notes:
The legislative scrutiny of budgets is undertaken by the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly. The legislative scrutiny of the budget for FY 2021/22 was undertaken by the committee and a report published. The Parliamentary budget office also prepares a report on unbundling of the budget policy statement. The scrutiny of the budget is not gender responsive. The score is D.
GRPFM–9.2 Gender responsive legislative scrutiny of audit reports
D

The legislative scrutiny of audit reports is undertaken by the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly. Audit review reports of 2018/ 2019 and 2019/2020 were available i.e. the audit review report of 2020/21 has not been tabled in the house. The legislative scrutiny of the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 audit report were not gender responsive.
