The sustainability of public policies depends to a large extent on the availability of financial resources to support their implementation. Current financing schemes do not generally take into account the asymmetries in terms of gender that exist in society, and therefore their implementation has a differentiated impact on men and women. These gender relations, marked by patriarchal cultures, put women at a disadvantage and lead to inequalities that limit their empowerment and economic autonomy. Cuba is not exempt from this reality, because together with the important advances achieved in terms of gender equity, significant gaps still persist. The instruments used to finance policies can be a fundamental tool available to the government to contribute to gender equality or, quite the opposite. The distinction will depend on the management made of them according to the objectives pursued. In Cuba, the debate on the subject is still incipient. This research constitutes a contribution in the direction of showing the need for the gender approach for the design of financing instruments and its role in overcoming the gaps that are still persistent.
