Policy

CIDA's first policy guidelines on Women in Development (WID) were developed in 1976. Numerous updates and evaluations have taken place.

The current gender equality policy is based on best practices and lessons learned since the implementation of CIDA's first policy. CIDA continues to promote women and girls' full participation as both agents and beneficiaries of development.
