An agency may have major programs/projects with approved appropriations. The whole budget appropriations for major programs/projects or a portion thereof may be attributed as gender-responsive program using the appropriate Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) design checklists during the GAD planning and budgeting phase. Subjecting a major program/project to HGDG is one way of increasing GAD budget allocation and utilization, and gender-responsiveness of government agencies.
