Canada integrates Gender Equality considerations into policies and programs to support gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls across its’ work in different sectors. Investments are targeted at gender equality-specific projects within a sector when the particular nature of the gender inequalities requires a more focused approach to achieve results. Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy is integrated and championed.
Areas of focus include: Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE); Women In Agricultural Development (WIAD); Gender Equality for the National Plastics Action Plan (GE-NPAP).
