An easy reference guide on tools for mainstreaming gender in poverty reduction strategies : time use studies, National accounts and National budgets

Abstract

The Easy Reference Guide (ERG) - an Africa-specific procedural guidebook - is a major output of ECA’s programme on Mainstreaming Gender into Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRS) using Time-use studies, National Accounts and National Budget as entry points. ERG offers methodologies, materials and tools to improve the skills of statisticians, national accountants and policy analysts in the collection, analysis and use of gender-disaggregated data and statistics for integrating women’s non-market work into these instruments for sound policy making, implementation and evaluation".
