6.4.3 After arriving at the score, the agency will now set a target score in the HGDG. For example, if the rating of a program in the HGDG is 4.0 and the agency would like to achieve a score of 6 at the end of the year, the agency should subsequently plan and estimate cost of interventions (or cost of gender mainstreaming) to achieve its target and include these in its GAD plan. It could attribute 25% of the budget of the program that it wants to make genderresponsive to its GAD budget. 6.4.4 During the preparation of its GAD AR, the agency will again administer the HGDG test to determine the extent that the targeted HGDG score is attained. This score will be the basis in determining actual expenditure that can be attributed to the GAD budget. In the example above, if the agency has an HGDG score of 8 (higher than its target), it can attribute 50% of the program’s budget to the actual GAD expenditure. 6.5 Pursuant to Section 37A.2 of the MCW-IRR, national government agencies and other government instrumentalities shall ensure that five to thirty percent (5-30%) of funds received from ODA and multi-lateral agencies are in support of gender-responsive programs and projects. 7
