This research project, a collaboration between Rhonda Sharp (University of South Australia), Diane Elson (University of Essex), and Siobhan Austen (Curtin University), profiles the gender-responsive budgeting experiences of 26 countries in the Asia Pacific region between 1984 and 2010. Funded by an Australian Development Research Award and based at the University of South Australia, the project explores different approaches, enabling and constraining factors, key actors, and strategies used across countries. Profiles range from short summaries to detailed case studies, including an in-depth analysis of Timor-Leste. The research draws on a mix of published studies, grey literature, and interviews, and has contributed to the UN Women status report on gender-responsive budgeting in the region.
