Existence of gender-based violence prevention and care policies that have an earmarked budget.
Definition:
Ratio between: (i) numerator: total number of gender-based violence prevention and care policies that have earmarked funds in the national expenditure budget, and (ii) denominator: total number
of gender-based violence prevention and care policies, multiplied by 100.
Notes:
The data can be strengthened through national mechanisms for the advancement of women.
Although the indicator as defined does not refer to a proportion, it is advisable to measure it as a percentage, ideally it should be 100%. For progress review, it is recommended to examine whether an executed budget is associated with the policies.
