The Women’s Component Plan (WCP) is a strategic intervention initiated by the Government of India in the 9th Five Year Plan (1997–2002) with the primary objective of ensuring that not less than 30% of the funds and benefits from various development sectors are earmarked for women. The plan marked a significant step in institutionalizing gender concerns into public planning and expenditure. WCP is a part of the broader framework of Gender Budgeting and Gender Audit, which aim to analyze, assess, and improve the impact of public spending and programs on women and gender equity. WCP emerged from the realization that mainstream development programs were not adequately benefiting women, despite their active participation in the economy. Women’s needs, priorities, and potential remained largely invisible in macroeconomic policy frameworks. Thus, the WCP was introduced to direct a specific proportion of financial resources towards women-centric projects and schemes, both within women-specific departments and general sectoral programs. The Women’s Component Plan operates through the twin strategy of earmarking a minimum percentage of plan outlays for women in all ministries and departments and ensuring the implementation of these schemes with a focus on empowerment, capacity building, and increased access to entitlements and resources. WCP is integrally linked to Gender Budgeting.
