The 2022 OECD Survey on Gender Budgeting gathered information on practices across the five building blocks of the forthcoming update of the OECD Framework for Gender Budgeting: 1) institutional and strategic arrangements; 2) methods and tools; 3) enabling environment; 4) accountability and transparency; and 5) impact.
Data, results and figures presented in this publication are from country responses to the 2022 OECD Survey on Gender Budgeting distributed to all 38 OECD countries. Responses are based upon self-reporting from governments, representing the country’s own assessment of current practices and procedures. Respondents were largely from Central Budgetary Authorities. The survey results do not capture practices of gender budgeting at subnational levels of government if there is not an existing practice at the central level.
Data collection began in March 2022 and ended in June 2022. Information represents practices as of 1 March 2022 and does not incorporate evolutions since then. Responses were received from all 38 OECD countries. The quality and consistency of survey responses were checked from June to December 2022 as part of the quality control of the dataset. During this review process, countries were invited to verify and clarify any substantial changes from the earlier data, potential inconsistencies and outliers. Preliminary findings and the 2022 OECD Gender Budgeting Index were presented and shared at the meeting of the OECD Network on Gender Budgeting in September 2022.
