An Overview

Our research mainly focuses on identifying a framework that combines the principles of good governance with good economic theory that incorporates the household-based care economy into an integrated analysis of the total economy. Within this conceptual framework, economic governance will be engendered through the application of gender-responsive tools such as gender analysis and gender budgeting, and sex-disaggregated data and statistics on gender issues, particularly unpaid domestic work and childcare.
Our focus is on a rights-based perspective to ensure that the government and decision-makers are accountable to the women's constituency for engendering economic governance and that women are able to claim their economic rights effectively.
We will start by familiarizing the researchers, scholars, policy makers or anybody interested in this topic with the terminology used.
