### Target audience and qualifications
- Qualifications: Mid-level to senior officers with experience in fiscal policy or budgeting.
- Target Audience: Government officials from various agencies involved in gender budgeting, including gender policy coordination units, ministries of finance, and ministries of women.
- Preferred background: Participants should preferably have some familiarity with the concepts or practice of gender budgeting.

### Course description and focus
- The workshop provides an intermediate-level approach to gender budgeting, drawing on the IMF's Public Financial Management (PFM) framework.
- Rationale: Gender equality is on the government's policy agenda in many countries, and the budget system is a primary policy instrument that can play a central role in implementing governments' gender policies and goals.
- Methods: The workshop will combine exposition of practices with participant country workshops and dialogues among participating countries and regional experts (such as UN Women).
- Participant role: Participants will be invited to explain specific practices in their own countries, assess their own and other countries' challenges, and propose solutions.

### Learning outcomes and course objectives
Upon completion of the workshop, participants should be able to:
- Identify institutional perspectives on gender-responsive budgeting and gender equality.
- Better understand the levels of practice of gender budgeting at each stage of the PFM cycle and the interrelations between these stages.
- Identify the level of practice of gender budgeting currently being implemented in their own countries and how this can be affected by PFM challenges.
- Identify precise steps in moving towards improved practice in their own countries as well as the possible synergies of these steps with ongoing PFM reforms.
