In March 2021, Oxfam Canada convened a virtual workshop with experts from across Canada to discuss challenges, gaps and opportunities in integrating intersectional gender-based analysis (GBA+) in impact assessments.

As an organization guided by feminist principles, Oxfam strongly values collaborating with diverse organizations and community representatives to consider how an intersectional gender lens can be used to strengthen gender equality and rights and to understand and develop strategies that honor the context and complexity of people’s situations.

This report provides a synthesis of what we heard from the workshop participants, which offers insights into both challenges and strategies for advancing GBA+ in impact assessment in Canada.
