Summary

The Framework on Gender-Responsive Planning, Budgeting, Monitoring, Evaluation and Auditing (GRPBMEA) serves as a strategic blueprint to institutionalize gender equality within the South African state machinery. It seeks to move beyond previous fragmented efforts by integrating a gender-sensitive lens into the entire public policy and expenditure cycle. By doing so, the government aims to ensure that resource allocations and departmental plans specifically address the socio-economic disparities facing women, youth, and persons with disabilities. The document outlines a phased implementation plan designed to transform abstract policy commitments into measurable outcomes through improved accountability and data collection. Ultimately, this framework functions as a catalyst for system-wide reform, aiming to dismantle patriarchal structures and foster inclusive national growth.
