The priority in GAD planning and budgeting includes PAPs that address gender mandates and gender issues of government agencies. These PAPs are gender-responsive initiatives to ensure that GAD is present and mainstreamed in government agencies.  The GAD budget for PAPs on gender mainstreaming of at least five percent (5%) is a way to influence the remaining budget of ninety-five percent (95%) of the entire plans and programs of government agencies. Thus, the utilization and outcome of the GAD budget are annually monitored and evaluated in terms of its success in influencing the gender-responsive implementation of the entire agency plans, program, and budget.
