Gender analysis was piloted for the first time in New Zealand through the Budget 2022 process, focusing on a number of budget initiatives within the Education, Employment and Training sector. The pilot took place between September 2021-May 2022.  The government agencies involved in the pilot were invited to complete the Gender Assessment Template (GAT), which was assessed to the budget initiative template as an appendix. Questions included in the GAT outlined the degree and nature of the initiative�s impact on women and girls, including specific impacts on w?hine M?ori and other groups of women, as well as identifying impacts on women specifically related to the Government�s Wellbeing Objectives. Agencies were asked to specify whether the anticipated impact on women and girls identified in the budget initiative was direct or indirect, targeted and tailored for women, disproportionately positive or �other�.    Agencies were provided with support from the Ministry for Women to complete the template. This included training on how to use the Ministry for Women�s gender analysis tool �Bringing Gender In�, to describe the gender implications of their initiatives. This tool can be found here: https://women.govt.nz/gender-tool.   The GATs were subsequently analysed by the Ministry for Women, with rapid assessment of individual initiatives selected for the pilot provided to support Treasury�s assessment and recommendation process for the involved initiatives, and aggregate analysis was presented to Budget Ministers during the decision-making process as part of the wellbeing analysis materials.   Following the completion of the pilot, the Ministry for Women has undertaken a review of the pilot data, including an assessment of how well the GATs were completed, to inform future gender budgeting endeavours.   In addition, the Ministry for Women has reviewed the overall budget in 2021 and 2022 from a gender lens, identifying initiatives likely to have a positive impact on outcomes for women and girls in New Zealand.
