This paper proposes a conceptual framework that relates failure of progressing in gender
equality to weakness of budgetary and political institutions. Whereas, the former drift
budgetary allocation away from producing the required public values, the latter leads to failure
of reconciling and shaping individual values to come up with informed budgetary objectives.
Application on Egypt shows that gender values may be locked in the basic needs perspective
and lack an informed governance framework to position them dynamically in the utilitarian set
of objectives of the budgetary system. Fiscal transparency should inform the process of public
values formation and level up budgetary objectives for gender. Additionally, tapping up all
public assets and networking them with the budgetary exercise is an important responsibility
for governments.
