This document discusses strategies for advocating for increased public budgets and financing for gender equality at local and global levels. It outlines how to analyze budget processes and behaviors from a gender perspective to identify gaps. It also describes categorizing investments based on their focus on women, social responsibilities, or culture change. Municipalities are ranked based on their gender equality investments and efficiency. The roles of partnerships, laws, and international cooperation in advocacy are addressed. Progress includes increased gender budgeting, costing tools, and state/organization appropriation of technical processes.
