Can gender budgeting lead to better health outcomes?

This Series accompanies the development of the Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health, inviting Commissioners and Co-Chairs to discuss a key topic, question, or challenge that the Commission hopes to tackle. The series aims to involve a range of stakeholders and voices in its work and promote discussion and debate on gender and health. In the fourteenth event of the series, we will hear from Commissioner Indrani Gupta, Professor and Head of the Health Policy Research Unit of the Institute of Economic Growth (IEG), Delhi, India. This seminar will bring out the challenges in trying to mainstream gender in the budgetary processes of countries. Join us from 09:00 - 09:30 BST/08:00 - 08:30 UTC on Wednesday 15th September to hear from Indrani Gupta and to pose your own reflections and questions on this topic to the Commission. The event is open to all but pre-registration is encouraged. About the Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health In August 2020, a new Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health was launched. The Commission, with three co-chairs and 25 commissions, has been set up with the explicit and uncompromising aim to move beyond the evidence to catalyse action on gender and global health. The Commission is being co-chaired by UCL Centre for Gender and Global Health Director, Sarah Hawkes; Director of the United Nations University International Institute for Global Health, Pascale Allotey; and Chair of the Kofi Annan Foundation and former Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Elhadj As Sy.
