Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+)
Section 1: Institutional GBA Plus Capacity
In 2021-22, CanNor continued to implement the GBA Plus Action Plan, focusing on development of internal GBA Plus tools and resources tailored to the Agency's functional areas. CanNor conducted an environmental scan of GBA Plus materials and tools available for public servants and is adapting these to make them applicable to various functions in the Agency. The goal is to establish GBA Plus expertise within each Branch.
CanNor works with Statistics Canada to obtain data to inform decision-making to advance GBA Plus goals. CanNor's results and delivery mechanisms continue to be strengthened to better report on GBA Plus outcomes, including tracking of CanNor training.
