The chapters trace the evolution of gender budgeting from a technical exercise in expenditure tracking to a broader agenda that links care, well-being, and participation in democratic governance. Case studies from Albania, Croatia, France, Italy, Macedonia, Spain, and Serbia illustrate how inclusive budgeting practices enhance transparency, accountability, and trust in institutions. The volume bridges theory and practice, drawing on the experience of reformers working with ministries of finance, municipalities, and international organizations. It provides timely insights for policymakers, academics, and advocates seeking to align budgets with the Sustainable Development Goals and to build more equitable, resilient, and caring economies. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"xmsonormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eMarija Risteska is Executive Director of the Centre for Research and Policy Making in Macedonia, and Regional Director of the Gender Budget Watchdog Network.
