| dc.description.abstract | The gap between gender equality policies and gender responsive budgeting is still ....in Indonesia’s
public finance (Sopanah,2004). This brings negative impacts to the society, in particular women,
because the proportion of public expenditure for women’s interest is still very low (less than 5% of total
budget). Such condition requires the commitment of the Government to realize gender equality by
mainstreaming gender perspective on various mechanism, policies and budgeting. This research aims
to analyze the integration of gender responsive budgeting in regional expenditure at Department of
Health in Makassar Municipality in 2014. This research used qualitative methods of which the primary
data were collected through in-depth interview and documentation. The result indicated that the
allocation of gender specific budgeting was 4% with 26 posts and allocation of gender equality
budgeting was 3% with 3 posts. Meanwhile general gender mainstreaming budgeting was unavailable
or 0% of total direct expenditure at the Department of Health. There were several obstacles in
implementing gender responsive budgeting at the Department including the obstacles on policies,
structural and cultural. Therefore, this research suggest to the national and provincial governments to
actively do socialization and campaign on the implementation of gender responsive budgeting within
planning, budgeting, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. It is also necessary to provide
trainings for Regents/Mayors and Head of all Departments on this matter.
