Abstract

Based on the latest literary sources and rich factual material, the scientific article consistently discusses topical issues of financial theory and practice, gender budgeting in the healthcare and social protection of Georgia.
It has been established that health care and social orientation have a high gender significance. At the same time, the study shows that the state budget programs of Georgia do not contain gender sensitivity. Most programs and sub-programmes do not include gender sensitivity; several programs are distinguished by gender sensitivity, there are also some goals set in terms of gender aspects, however they are mostly in the form of statistics and do not adequately reflect gender needs.
It is substantiated that the goals set in the health and social protection programs of the state budget of Georgia and the indicators of intermediate and final results require more specification in accordance with the principles of the program budgeting methodology in general, as well as considering additional gender aspects.
