offices, bureaus, state universities and colleges, government-owned and
-controlled corporations, local government units (LGUs) and other government
instrumentalities, shall adopt gender mainstreaming as the strategy to promote
women’s human rights and eliminate gender discrimination in their systems,
structures, policies, programs, processes and procedures which shall include,
but not be limited to, the following:
(a) Planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation for GAD.
GAD programs addressing gender issues and concerns shall be designed
and implemented based on the mandate of government agencies and LGUs,
Republic Act No. 7192, gender equality agenda of the government and other
GAD-related legislation, policies and commitments. The development of GAD
programs shall proceed from the conduct of a gender audit of the agency/LGU
and a gender analysis of its policies, programs, services and the situation of its
clientele; the generation and review of sex-disaggregated data; and
consultation with gender/women’s rights advocates and agency/women
clientele. The cost of implementing GAD programs shall be the
agency’s/LGU’s GAD budget which shall be at least five percent (5%) of the
agency’s/LGU’s total budget appropriations.
Pursuant to Republic Act No. 7192, otherwise known as the Women in
Development and Nation Building Act, which allocates five percent (5%) to
thirty percent (30%) of overseas development assistance to GAD, government
agencies receiving official development assistance should ensure the allocation
and proper utilization of such funds to gender-responsive programs that
complement the government GAD funds, and annually report accomplishments
thereof to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the
PCW.
The utilization and outcome of the GAD budget shall be annually
monitored and evaluated in terms of its success in influencing the genderresponsive implementation of agency programs funded by the remaining
ninety-five percent (95%) budget.
