The Ministry of Internal Affairs has trained specialists who will be able to form budget programs with gender-sensitive indicators
Today, August 5, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Kateryna Pavlichenko and Head of the Project “Gender Budgeting in Ukraine”, acting on behalf of the “NIRAS” SwedenAВ consortium, Oksana Kyselova, presented certificates of completion of the training course “Gender-oriented subject progress in the budget process” to all participants.
“This is the first step in implementing a gender-oriented approach to budget programming. I am confident that the results of our joint activities will become a solid foundation for building the capacities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and subordinate CEAs in the direction of gender equality. From now on, your responsible mission is to implement the acquired knowledge and skills into practical activities,” said Kateryna Pavlichenko during the presentation of the certificates.
An important result of the cooperation was the gender analysis of 12 budget programs. As a result of this analysis, the items that need to be changed are identified. Based on this, recommendations for requests of budget programs of the apparatus and bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system have been developed in order to eliminate the gender imbalance in the distribution of funds, which will be taken into account during the formation of passports of budget programs.
