In 2017, Canada rolled out the world’s first Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP), to promote gender equality and empower women and girls as the effective approach to eradicating poverty and building a more peaceful and prosperous world.
Through the Results Data Initiative (RDI), we worked with Global Affairs Canada – International Assistance (GAC-IA) to develop its FIAP M&E work plan, design a comprehensive FIAP M&E system to fit within its existing frameworks, and calculate pre-FIAP baseline values for all 26 indicators identified.
This paper outlines the challenges and opportunities that development agencies may face when adopting new and/or feminist policies, and provides an overview of how other development agencies can integrate a feminist lens into their M&E frameworks.
