In the twenty-first century, gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) has emerged as a development tool that explores if and how gender equality goals and targets are being effectively supported through government funding. Gender-Responsive Budgeting in Practice: Lessons from Nigeria and Selected Developing Countries argues that, although justified by the high costs of gender inequality to economic growth and development, the use of GRB as a tool to achieve global and regional gender equality goals has seen little progress in the twenty-first century, especially in developing countries. Through analyses of government budgets and the budgeting process, and gender equality outcomes in Nigeria and the selected countries from 2000 to 2020, the contributors show that GRB has failed to gain traction or thrive in developing countries. Using these analyses, the contributors identify critical success factors that are missing in policy-making and planning in the developing world and must be integrated in order to further facilitate inclusive growth and sustainable development.

The authors are experts in the field of GRB in Nigeria and the developing countries in question. Therefore, they authoritatively and knowledgeably addressed the subject matter. Amongst its many strengths, the book is jargon free and can thus be read by GRB non-experts with ease. In terms of use, it will be helpful to both development practitioners and academics. The latter case is critical given the importance of gender equality in academic discourse and university teaching
