| dc.description | There is a strong and high-level commitment in Ireland to promote equality. At the same time, the public expenditure framework in Ireland has undergone profound reforms in recent years, including the introduction of performance budgeting in 2012. With a
commitment to equality budgeting clearly articulated in the Programme for a Partnership Government (May 2016), the ongoing development of performance budgeting has served as a natural anchor to support its development. Ireland has already made substantial progress in this regard. The first generation of equality budgeting was introduced in 2017 on a pilot basis and expanded in 2018 for Budget 2019. Building on these developments, the Department of Justice and Equality and the
Department of Public Expenditure and Reform requested that the OECD take stock of actions that the Government of Ireland has taken to mainstream equality considerations into the budget process. This Scan provides options and recommendations on future directions for equality budgeting in Ireland, in light of national developments and international experience. These take into account the standards set out in the 2015 OECD Recommendation on Gender Equality in Public Life and the 2015 OECD Recommendation on Budgetary Governance. Recommendations build on a) the strengths of the existing budgeting framework in Ireland, b) the momentum of ongoing and planned public financial management reforms, and c) the progress made in shaping an equality and inclusion agenda across several policy domains. The Scan also provides guidance to strengthen Ireland’s institutional approach to equality proofing more holistically. The OECD Experts Group on Gender Budgeting discussed an initial draft of the OECD Scan of Equality Budgeting in Ireland, and their feedback has informed the final recommendations.
