Abstract

Gender budgeting has emerged as a crucial tool in addressing gender disparities and invariably promoting economic security. This article examines the intersection of economic security and gender budgeting in the Nigerian context. The study highlights the significant impact of gender- responsive budgeting on narrowing gender gaps in economic security. The article explores the concept of economic security within the framework of gender equality and sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of addressing gender-based discrimination as barriers to women's economic empowerment. Furthermore, the research examines the potential benefits of gender budgeting in achieving broader national development goals, including poverty reduction, increased productivity, and social cohesion. It underscores the need for a holistic approach that integrates gender considerations into all aspects of budget formulation, implementation, and monitoring. Ultimately, the work underscores that gender budgeting is not merely a fiscal exercise but a transformative strategy for building a more equitable and prosperous society in Nigeria.
