La presente publicación representa un esfuerzo conjunto de Organización para la Educación y la Cultura de Naciones Unidas (UNESCO), la Entidad de Naciones Unidas para la Igualdad de Género y el Empoderamiento de las Mujeres (ONU Mujeres) y de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (PAHO) en Panamá bajo un programa nacional financiado por la sexta convocatoria del Fondo Fiduciario de Socios Múltiples (Multi-Partner Trust Fund) del Secretariado de la Alianza de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad (UNPRPD por sus siglas en inglés).

El documento presente pretende dar una herramienta a la Asamblea Nacional en apoyo de su función fiscalizadora del gobierno para mejorar los resultados del presupuesto nacional relacionados con los compromisos nacionales e internacionales a favor de los derechos de las mujeres y de las personas con discapacidad.

La asamblea nacional es el órgano que tiene el mandato de fiscalización y control al gobierno; de aprobar legislación que pueda afectar el proceso presupuestario (aumento de impuestos, recorte de gastos, etc.) y de legislar en torno a los temas de igualdad de género y derechos de las personas con discapacidad.

As populations age worldwide, women—who make up the majority of the older population—face distinct challenges and opportunities. This Solutions Session explores how gender- and age-responsive policies can advance inclusive social development through two interlinked dimensions:

1. Social Integration & Inclusion – advancing participation, dignity, and rights through gender-responsive ageing policies.
2. Poverty Eradication & Decent Work – promoting fair, inclusive, and gender-responsive economies that ensure income security and value care across the life course.

The session will spotlight cross-regional innovations and multi-stakeholder partnerships that empower older women and promote equality across generations.
