| Summary: | The paper attempts to study the share of budgetary resources allotted to
women’s health in budgets of Kerala in relation to Government policy declaration
during the period 2003-04 to 2009-10. The overall objective is to evaluate the gender
sensitiveness of the budget in terms of provisions for women’s health. Even though a
fairly satisfactory allocation is made towards women’s health in terms of total outlay
the actual expenditure on women specific schemes (WSS) is only a considerably lower
fraction of it. In terms of total plan expenditure, the commitments were fulfilled at a
higher level. The gender budgeting exercise also demonstrates that only a small portion
of the non-plan expenditure is specifically allocated towards women's health and the
allotment towards it has not been consistent with time and inadequate in most of the
years |
