Gender-based analysis plus
| Institutional GBA Plus Capacity |
|---|
| The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) recognizes the importance of Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus) and supports its implementation across the Office. Key areas of effort for the coming year will be to encourage employees to take GBA Plus training, participate in information exchanges with the GBA Plus community, and continue the GBA Plus pilot project as part of the Contribution Program. |
| Highlights of GBA Plus Results Reporting Capacity by Program |
| Protection of Privacy rights It is currently too early for the OPC to develop a comprehensive list of programs that will collect and maintain sufficient information to undertake GBA Plus. The OPC is conscious of the need for data-driven, evidence-based analysis and is therefore currently exploring ways of incorporating GBA Plus into our work in the most-privacy protective manner possible. This work will not only inform our own GBA Plus practices but will also help the Office to provide recommendations to other federal government departments and agencies on how they can also implement GBA Plus in a manner that respects the privacy rights of Canadians. |
