UN Women globally focuses on key priority areas fundamental to womens equality and can unlock progress across the board. UN Womens priority areas include increasing womens leadership and participation in political spaces, ending violence against women, enhancing womens economic empowerment, engaging in all aspects of womens peace and security processes, making gender equality central to national planning and budgeting through Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) and advancing gender in intergovernmental processes.UN Womens work on GRB involves ensuring that national planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation processes incorporate a gender perspective. UN Womens GRB programmes at the regional and country level have significantly contributed to this by building political support, developing technical resources and capacities, generating good practices for improving womens access to services and increasing accountability for Gender Equality and Womens Empowerment (GEWE).At the forefront of global, regional, and local advocacy for the application of GRB, UN Women has built partnerships with various government, inter-governmental and non-governmental partners to further efforts and demonstrate GRBs relevance to sustainable development, aid effectiveness, public sector reform and f inancing for development.UN Womens India Country Office (ICO), based in New Delhi, India, works towards ensuring that policies and programmes at the national and state level are gender responsive.
