Gender-based analysis : building blocks for success / Anita Neville, M.P., chair.: XC71-1/1-381-2E-PDF

“[…] gender-based analysis (GBA) […] is defined by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) as: assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in any area and at all levels. It is a strategy for making women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality. Gender-based analysis also recognizes that not all women are the same. As a result, it examines the impact of policies and programs on diverse groups of women and men. Through this study on gender-based analysis, the Committee explored: how gender-based analysis is implemented in federal government departments; emerging and ongoing challenges to the implementation of gender-based analysis; and the adequacy of current accountability mechanisms for gender-based analysis. To accomplish this, the Standing Committee on the Status of Women invited departments who have well-established GBA programs, as well as those who have minimal GBA capacity, to speak to the challenges of incorporating GBA in programs, policies and legislation. The Committee also invited witnesses who could provide examples of mechanisms currently in place in the federal government to coordinate horizontal policy goals, such as employment equity, that could provide a parallel to GBA"--p. 1, 3.
