Policy

CIDA's first policy guidelines on Women in Development (WID) were developed in 1976. The current gender equality policy is based on best practices and lessons learned since the implementation of CIDA's first WID Policy in 1984.

Numerous updates and evaluations have taken place. The last update was in 1999, which resulted in the launch of CIDA's Policy on Gender Equality. CIDA will continue to promote women and girls' full participation as both agents and beneficiaries of development.
