Description:
Gender-based analysis (GBA) is a process based on a dual approach: developing policies, programs and legislation that are women-specific as well as ensuring that legislation, programs and policies that are not specifically targeted for women do not inadvertently maintain or exacerbate any equality gap. This report examines the federal government's commitment to GBA and describes GBA within individual departments. It also identifies enabling factors for GBA and describes accountability mechanisms. The report concludes with recommendations for GBA in the federal government.
