The article highlights the features of gender budgeting and the need for its application in public administration. The presented theses on gender-oriented budgeting (GOB) in public administration are based on the experience of developed countries, taking into account the problems associated with gender budgeting, in order to study and justify the actions direction at the beginning of the integration of gender public administration. For the past 25 years, the international community has recognized the importance of gender equality for sustainable economic growth and full social development, and has called on countries to use their budgets to promote the allocation of resources and income on a gender basis. More than 60 countries have responded to this call by implementing gender-sensitive budgets at the national and subnational levels. The GOB goals can be seen as hierarchical to some extent at the initial stage of implementation in many countries, GOB typically focuses on strategies aimed at raising awareness of gender policy and budgets (e.g., collecting data divided by gender, training civil servants, developing gender-sensitive analysis). However, good information and analysis of gender issues and the implications of policy and budget are not in themselves sufficient to change budgets if public officials cannot be called upon to carry out their actions in the field of gender equality. The study described different approaches to building public administration strategies in the field of gender-based budgeting, highlighting the goals and directions of their study, which was found on the basis of a detailed review of the structure of the current gender budgeting system. It is proved that the application of gender-sensitive budgeting in the public administration system will minimize social risks that can have a destructive effect on public finances. The article reveals possible strategies of gender-oriented budgeting, and also offers a qualitative method for determining the priority of the implementation of certain gender programs, based on A/B-testing.
