SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.

On UNIFEM's website: Improving Compliance to the Gender-Responsive Budgeting in the Philippines
The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) is currently featuring the policy analysis I did in during my stint at the Public Policy Programme, National University of Singapore. Here's the introduction:
"This study was prepared by Allan O. Millar of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Republic of the Philippines, during 2002 in fulfillment of the requirements for a Masters degree in the Public Policy Programme, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, at the National University of Singapore (NUS). This innovative Programme requires that students undertake their Masters level research for a specific client. Allan had earlier met the UNIFEM Regional Economic Adviser through UNIFEM support for gender mainstreaming in the Philippines. As he was interested in gender budgeting, particularly the Philippines Gender and Development Five Percent budget, Allan requested that the UNIFEM Regional Programme for Engendering Economic Governance become his client. The Regional Economic Adviser provided input and feedback to the research, and feedback to NUS. However, the views expressed in this study do not necessarily reflect those of the Government of the Philippines, NUS or UNIFEM."
