An accountants’ body wants more women to benefit from resources being channeled towards economic recovery out of Covid-19 to enhance equality.
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) also urged more governments to adopt the use of United Nation’s Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) to bridge gender inequality gaps.
“According to the UN’s global Covid-19 Global Gender Response Tracker, while 164 countries have GRB in some form, just 25 - such as India, New Zealand and Trinidad and Tobago - have demonstrated a holistic approach by applying measures that span across unpaid care, violence against women and women’s economic security,” ACCA said in a statement to mark International Women’s Day this week.

March has evolved as a very important month globally because it is the month designated for celebrating women. Precisely, tomorrow the 8th of March is International Women’s Day 2021, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
Women-owned ventures are strong catalysts for economic development, and when female enterprises thrive, this reflects positively on society and is happy- a win-win situation for everybody.
Today, more and more audacious women are taking the lead in the entrepreneurship space across the globe. In Africa, the 2020 Mastercard Index of Women Entrepreneurs (MIWE) report ranked Uganda (39.6 per cent), Botswana (38.5 per cent), and Ghana (36.5 per cent) as the world’s three leading economies with the most female business owners.

Since 189 United Nations member states adopted the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action at the Fourth World Women’s Conference in 1995, the language of ‘gender mainstreaming’ has been adopted by many countries for shaping their public policy and programme priorities. In India, gender budgeting was enforced in 2004 with the recommendations of the Ashok Lahiri Committee, and the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) has been the principal unit that overlooks the strategic management and execution of Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB).
