Where is the money for women’s economic empowerment in Ethiopia?
We were commissioned by Publish What You Fund to assess national and sub-national funding for women’s
economic empowerment in Ethiopia. It wasn’t an easy task. Here’s what we found :
Currently there is no means of identifying women’s economic empowerment allocations
and expenditures at the country level in . While the Ethiopian government is
cognisant of gender issues and has incorporated them in its policy documents and
legislation, there are no established systems to enable the reporting of allocations on
gender equality or women’s economic empowerment. No sex-disaggregated data is
compiled and gender-responsive budgeting is not institutionalised. So there is no basis to
determine whether the considerations at the time of budget preparation are followed
through.
