Why do we need to
do GAD planning
and budgeting?
Office of the
3 PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
Because

1. DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE LIFE
SITUATION OF WOMEN AND MEN
Roles, expectations, needs and interests differ due
to gender stereotype
Unequal status, inequality as shown in
discriminatory law, policies as well as in data and
results of programs

2. WOMENS OR GENDER ISSUES, WHICH

ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED, HAVE TO BE
ADDRESSED
- Apply gender perspective in planning and project
development
Office of the
4 PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
 Because

3. WE NEED TO PRACTICE GENDER-
RESPONSIVE GOOD GOVERNANCE
Government agencies cannot achieve good
governance without being transparent,
participatory, equitable, and gender-
responsive.

4. LIMITED RESOURCES

Office of the
5 PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
 Hence the need
to.
pursue equal opportunities for women and
men and ensure equal access to resources
and development results
abolish unequal structures and practices that
perpetuate discrimination and gender
inequality
capacitate institutions and people to instill
gender perspective

disaggregated data or analysis of relevant information that surface the
unequal situation of women and men. The issue could be client-focused
or organization-focused ;

A client-focused gender issue refers to concerns arising from the

unequal status of women and men stakeholders of a particular agency
including the extent of their disparity over benefits from and
contribution to a policy/program and/or project of the agency

organization-focused gender issue points to the gap/s in the capacity of

the organization to integrate a gender dimension in its programs,
systems or structure

The agency, SUC, or LGUs may directly cite a specific mandate that it
needs to implement, (e.g. based on a specific provision of the Magna
Carta of Women)

 Output Performance Indicator
and Target
(6)
Indicators are quantitative or qualitative means to
measure achievement of the results of the proposed
activity and how they contribute to the realization of
the GAD objective.

Quantitative indicators are measures or evidence that

can be counted such as, but not limited to, number,
frequency, percentile, and ratio.

Qualitative indicators are measures of an individual

or groups judgment and/ or perception of
congruence of established standards, the presence or
absence of specific conditions, the quality of
something, or the opinion about something (e.g. the
clients opinion of the timeliness of service). (RBM
Tools at CIDA)
 Output Performance Indicator
and Target
(6)
The target is an important consideration in
budgeting that specifies what the agencys
GAD plan and budget intends to achieve
within one year in relation to the GAD result
or objective. The target should be realistic
and attainable within the implementing
period. Monitoring and evaluating the GAD
plan and budget will largely be based on
attainment of targets and performance
indicators.

 GAD Budget
(7)
The GAD budget is the cost of implementing
the GAD plan. For more realistic budgeting,
the cost of implementing each activity should
be estimated by object of expenditure.

For example, if the agency conducts one GST,

it should cost the board and lodging (if
training is live-in) or food for x number of
persons for x number of days, professional fee
for resource persons, supplies and materials,
travel expenses, communication costs for
coordinating the training, among others. It is
possible that certain activities, such as
nomination of women to third level positions,

 GENERAL RULES IN
REVIEWING THE GPB
PLAN AND BUDGET

Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
Column 1: Gender Issue/ GAD
Mandate
The agency should prioritize client-focused gender
issues/GAD mandates relevant to their sector/mandate;
however if the agency is still new to/or is in the early
stages of gender-mainstreaming it may prioritize
organization-focused issues. e.g. absence of GAD Focal
Point System, lack of knowledge and skills of the
management and/or employees on GAD, GM and GPB
among others.

The reviewer should be knowledgeable of the mandate

of the agency to be able to check the relevance and
alignment of the gender issues/GAD mandates
identified by the agency. If these are not aligned with
the mandate of the agency, the reviewer should
recommend enhancement/identification of a relevant
gender issue/GAD mandate.
Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
Column 1: Gender Issue/ GAD
Mandate
In reviewing the gender issue/s or GAD
mandates, the reviewer may use as reference
the mandate of the agency, its sectoral
priorities, national/term plans e.g. PDP; OPIF
and other policies relevant to the agency.

The reviewer should probe whether the

identified gender issue/s were also based on
gender analysis. This will encourage agencies
to institutionalize gender analysis within the
agency.
Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
Column 1: Gender Issue/ GAD
Mandate
Check with previous GPBs and GAD ARs to
ensure that gender issue/s identified in the
previous GPBs have been responded to or to
check if the gender issue/s have always been
included in past and current GPBs. If so, the
reviewer should be able to probe the reason why
or recommend other gender issue/s or GAD
mandate he/she deems more pressing and what
the agency needs to prioritize.

GAD-related economic- and health issues are

NOT allowed as gender issues, UNLESS it is
within the sector and mandate of the agency
proposing them.
Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
 Column 2: Cause/s of the
Gender Issue
It is important for the agency to establish the
cause/s of the issue to ensure that the GAD
activities/programs will directly address the
gender issues leading to its gradual or complete
elimination

The reviewer should use this item to probe the

gender issue/s. If the reviewer deems that the
cause/s of the gender issue is not aligned, then
she/he should probe further by calling the agency
or recommend the possible cause/s of the gender
issues that she/he deems relevant/related.

Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
 Column 3: GAD Result
Statement/GAD Objective
The agency may also include a long-term objective
relevant to their mandate and gender issue/s of its
sector.

Check past GAD plans and accomplishment reports and

probe if GAD objective is repeated over time, if so, ask
agency why the repetition over time. The objective
maybe repeated over time if it cannot be realized within
the period of the GPB. If there is lack of progress in their
GAD efforts, recommend that the agency addresses
priority gender issues that have not been addressed or
GAD mandate and priority gender issues identified in
gender-related term plans.
Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
Column 4: Relevant Agency
MFO/PAP
The reviewer should use as reference
the mandate and OPIF of the agency.

The reviewer should be very familiar

with the OPIF of the agency to be able
to recommend or input in the
identification of the relevant MFO/PAP
that can be integrated with gender to
address the gender issues/implement
the GAD mandate.
Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
 Column 5: GAD Activity
GAD activities must be related to the mandate of the
agency.

The agency may plan related GAD activities to achieve

the same objective over several planning periods until
the GAD objective or targeted result is achieved.

Establishment/operationalization of programs to address

womens practical and strategic needs (e.g. daycare
center, breastfeeding rooms) are acceptable GAD
activities, however, the reviewer should probe deeper
and assess if the agency employees really need it before
allowing such activity. The operationalization of such
must still follow government accounting and auditing
rules and regulations. Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
Column 6 : Output Indicators
and Targets
The targets and indicators should be
attainable within the implementation
period. The monitoring and
assessment the GPB will largely be
based on the indicators and targets.

The target is also the basis for the

allocation of the GAD budget.
Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
Column 7: GAD Budget

Check if the reflected budget was

broken down into specific budget items
especially very large budget allocation
It is possible that certain activities do
not have direct cost implications.
Budget of ODA-funded GAD activities
should be reflected.

Office of the
PhilippinePresident
Commission on Women
 Column 8: Source of the
GAD Budget
This should indicate the source of
the budget for the activities e.g.
GAA, ODA, COB among others
Column 9: Responsible
Unit/Office
The reviewer must be familiar with
the offices and units within the
agency and its functions to be able
to verify the relevance of the
assigned office/unit in the Office of the

implementation of the GAD activity.
