Goal action plan
Since the launch of our Feminist International Assistance Policy in 2017, Canada has actively prioritized nutrition projects that integrate gender equality considerations. Projects are assessed by Gender Equality Specialists based on standardised criteria ranging from being gender specific, gender integrated, having limited gender considerations to no gender equality considerations. Projects designed with gender equality specific objectives with the result of the objective aimed to address gender inequalities are prioritized above others.
