Abstract
Budget is basically an itemized summary of estimated or intended expenditures for a given period along with proposals for financing them. Unfortunately in Pakistan due to lack of sustainable approach in policy makers every budget failed to achieve its goals. Though after the introduction of term ‘gender’ and ‘equality’ thoughts and plan of actions changed but one factor is usually neglected that equity and social justice doesn’t mean equal distribution of resources but distribution of resources according to the need and priorities of men and women. Pakistan is signatory of many international conventions and according to them it is the responsibility of the government to formulate policies and budget according to gender role and responsibility the needs of both men and women. Pakistani government has started many projects and programs to fill the gender gap. Gender budgeting related initiatives are part of this strategy. This paper reviews the efforts carried out in Pakistan and their success and future implications.
