https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/governance/what-s-changing-in-gender-responsive-public-financial-management If you’ve ever wondered how public financial management (PFM) systems integrate gender considerations so that public funds benefit everyone more equally, we’re going to share with you what we’ve learned from our latest data. Since 2020, 32 national and subnational governments have applied the Public Expenditure & Financial Accountability (PEFA) Gender Framework, creating the first global dataset on how PFM systems address gender issues. The results show progress and increased commitment but also highlight remaining gaps in achieving gender‑equality outcomes. © 2026 World Bank Group,
