Philippine Initiatives on Gender-ResponsiveGovernance

In the Philippines, efforts to make governance gender responsive are promoted through

legislation, such as the Magna Carta of Women (MCW) which mandates non-discriminatory

and pro-gender euality and euity measures to ena!le women"s participation in the

formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies, plans, and programs for national,

regional, and local development#

$lso, the Philippine %ramework Plan for Women (%PW) indicated actions planned for gender

responsive governance to !e undertaken !y government agencies, &'s and civil society as

follows

On mainstreaming Gender and Development (GAD) in the bureaucracy –

*# +nforce compliance to '$ mainstreaming policies

programs

# 4et up ena!ling mechanism to facilitate e.change of data, information, tools, etc#

!etween media and government pertinent to '$ concerns

4ignificant progress has !een achieved in terms of implementing said measures in the %PW#

5he Country 'ender $ssessment (C'$, 667) has noted that the epartment of 8udget and

Management (8M) has issued annual !udget circulars since *99: that support the

implementation of '$ !udgets at the local level# Currently, the local !udget circular on

internal revenue allotment reuires agencies to apply a minimum of 3 percent of the funds

for '$# In 66*, the ;ational Commission on the $) which ?

• etermines government agencies" compliance with e.isting laws and regulations on

the utili0ation of '$ funds@

• 4ees to it that agencies" plans, programs, pro=ects and activities are aligned to the

Philippine Plan for 'ender-

• Monitors the use of '$ funds for the purpose for which they have !een

appropriated@ and

• etermines whether gender issues are addressed !y '$ interventions in the

agencies#

$"s audit initiative prompted government agencies at the national and local

levels to pursue '$ !udgeting in the Philippines in a more proactive manner#

$ssessing the outcomes of the implementation of '$ plans and !udgets, the C'$ (667)

pointed out the significance of ?

• A+ngaging civil society groups in local government planning and !udgeting, where

the '$ !udget can function as an entry point and tool for negotiation@

• Integrating '$ in national and local planning and !udgeting guidelines and

systems@

• Initiating a gender !udget audit !y the Commission on $udit@

• Promoting non-se.ist language in government@ and

• 'enerating se.-disaggregated data for the formulation of gender-responsive policies

and programs#B

owever, several challenges still remain in the promotion of gender-responsive governance

in the country such as policy development and implementation, financing and financing

capacity and generation of data on '$ monitoring and implementation as well as for

gender analysis#5he %PW stresses the importance an ena!ling environment for development

wherein the interaction !etween the 'overnment, the private sector, and civil society is

fundamental to achieving social and economic development# 5he C'$ (667) also

underscored the vitality of care for national resources and a!sence of graft and corruption in

good and accounta!le gender-responsive governance#
