I. BACKGROUND

UN Women grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. 
Indonesia government as member states of the UN has been committed to support the UN Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women through ratification of the Convention and adopted into the National Law No. 7 of 1984. The commitment further strengthens through the issuance of Presidential Instruction No.9 of 2000 on Gender Mainstreaming in the National Development, National Long-Term Development Plan 2005-2025 (RPJP), and National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN).
The commitment is continued in the policy framework through the issuance of the Ministry of Finance Regulation PMK No 119 of 2009 concerning Guideline of Submission and Review of Annual Ministries Work Plan and Budget. The policy has laid out the foundation of incorporating gender analysis into the national planning of the budgeting system in the seven piloted ministries. The seven piloted ministries consist of three coordinating ministries, namely; Ministry of National Planning, Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, Ministry of Finance. The other four ministries are; Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Public Works. Priority areas for the sectoral piloted ministries are given to the program and activities on service delivery and for the driver ministries, the priority is given to strengthen the structure.
After two years of implementation, in 2011 the government of Indonesia conducted evaluation of the Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting (GRPB) piloted both in the national and sub-national level. The result of the evaluation is positive and it was recommended with further continuation of GRPB into other ministries and state institutions. The evaluation also found that the GRPB works well through the engagement of gender focal points in each ministry. In the sub-national level, GRPB has been implemented since 2010 in four provinces, namely; Banten, Yogyakarta, Central Java, and East Java. The commitment of the governor and the driver's institution from the respected province contributed significantly to the success of GRPB implementation in the provincial level.
Further in 2012 Indonesia government endorsed the National Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting Strategy (Strategi Nasional Perencanaan dan Penganggaran Responsive Gender / Stranas PPRG) covering period 2012-2014 through ministerial circular from the four coordinating ministries of gender mainstreaming, namely; Ministry of National Development Planning, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection.
The National Strategy of GRPB 2012-2014 has been completed in 2014 and the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) is now leading the development of the new National Strategy of GRPB covering period 2019-2030. With reference to the evaluation of the previous national strategy, the new national strategy will consider these points; the dynamic implementation of GRPB within national and sub-national government in the context of regional autonomy and village autonomy, institutional restructuring in the ministries and state institutions, and supporting the goal of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The objective of the National Strategy of GRPB is to mainstream gender into government development cycles as follows; 1). Providing guideline to accelerate implementation of gender mainstreaming from the national level to sub-national level, to achieve the goal of RPJP, RPJMN and SDGs, 2). Institutionalizing the commitment of ministries and state institutions on gender mainstreaming in the national and sub-national level, 3). Providing systematic coordination among ministries and state institutions from national to sub-national level, 4). Strengthening ministries and state institutions in formulating gender responsive planning and budgeting, and implementation of GRPB in the national and sub-national level.

The national strategy will be equipped with operational guideline for ministries, state institutions, sub-national government, and villages government.

Based on the above, UN Women in partnership with BAPPENAS seek the support from two qualified national consultants to develop, namely; 1). Operational guideline of National Strategy of Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting specifically for ministries/state institutions, sub-national government (province, city and district), 2).
