Participatory gender budget (PGB) has been in practice in China since 2005. Three PGB models have evolved: the "outsider model", the "insider model" and the "integrated model". Among the three, Zhejiang's Wenling experiment is unique due to its introduction of the "democratic consultation meeting"; it has accelerated the fulfilment of government's commitment to gender equality, executed some adjustments to the government budget, enhanced equal resource distribution and empowered women in the budget-making process.
