Infusing gender based policies into the budget, is a
fresh concept that is yet to be embraced by a general political consensus or
public consideration. However, it has entered the sphere of debate armed with
some interesting revelations.
Recently
Pathfinder, a research promoting organisation released a report advocating
research in policies and activities in selected areas of governance to
facilitate the policy makers. Integrating a gender perspective to the national
budgetary process in Sri Lanka is the objective of this research exercise.
