Iniciativas de presupuestos sensibles al género en América Latina. Una ruta hacia la institucionalización

This paper seeks to asses some of the elements that most significantly contributed to the institutionalization of Gender Responsive Budgeting in Latin America. The article briefly describes the context in which these initiatives emerge in the region and then analyzes the elements through which they became part of regular practices linked to the budgetary process. While no single recipes can be applied to the promotion of gender budgeting, such elements, adapted to each context and reality, can constitute examples of good practices to support other experiences in enhancing the incorporation of gender equality as a fundamental principle for public resources management.
