MAKING LOCAL BUDGET GENDER RESPONSIVE: INDONESIA'S STORIES: The Asia Foundation Experiences in Indonesia
Making Local Budget Gender Responsive: Indonesia’s Stories captures The Asia Foundation’s experiences in supporting gender-responsive budgeting initiatives across various districts in Indonesia. The book illustrates how partnerships between civil society organizations, women’s groups, and local governments have advanced inclusive governance by ensuring that public budgets address the different needs of women and men.
Drawing on case studies from multiple regions, it highlights concrete outcomes such as the integration of gender budget statements, improved service delivery in health and education, and stronger community participation in planning processes. The work also discusses ongoing challenges, including limited institutional capacity, political resistance, and the need for sustained advocacy. Overall, the volume demonstrates how gender-responsive budgeting can serve as both a governance reform tool and a pathway to achieving social justice and gender equality in Indonesia.
