Description
"This publication elaborates on how budgets and budget policy-making processes can be monitored for compliance with human rights standards, in particular with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)." "Combining substantive analysis with country examples, the publication explores how a rights-based budget analysis can be applied to public expenditure, public revenue, macroeconomics of the budget, and budget decision-making."--From back cover.
