Budget Ministers are the decision-makers during the Budget process and it is difficult for officials to understand how Budget Ministers use each aspect of the materials provided to them, including the information provided through the gender budgeting pilot � as officials are not privy to the political discussions.   There is also insufficient information currently available as the pilot only recently took place and involved a select number of initiatives and agencies. However, following the completion of the pilot, Ministry for Women has undertaken a review which can be used to inform future gender budgeting endeavours and track progress across Government.
