empowerment when measured as a percentage of the total spending plan. The 2022 allocation to Women Economic Empowerment, WEE, projects is however a 101 per cent (N103 billion) increase compared to the 2021 (N51.3 billion) budget, DRPC said, adding that many of the MDAs have increased funding commitment for WEE. The organisation defined the concept of WEE as the transformative process by which women and girls go from having limited power, voice, and choice at home and in the economy to having the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to access and compete equitably in markets and the agency to control and benefit from economic gains. The report recommended sustained momentum for increased budgetary provisions to WEE and the creation of an institutional coordinating mechanism/framework for tracking the gender impact of budget implementation. The organisation calls for promoting gender sensitivity in the procurement process on WEE projects and ensuring women’s inclusion in the budget process.
