The political economy processes of fiscal interventions to redress gender inequalities in India encompass four distinct phases, viz.,identifying innovative fiscal policy tools for gender equality; building institutional and policy structures to implement the identified tools; building capacity of civil society and macro policy makers to strengthen the processes ensuring transparency; and strengthen accountability mechanisms.
