General information
Institutional GBA plus capacity
At Employment and Social Development Canada, each Assistant Deputy Minister is accountable for supporting the application of gender-based analysis plus (GBA plus) within their area of responsibility. Each branch and Region has analysts who perform GBA plus in their policy, program and service proposals. In addition, a number of branches have dedicated resources with specific accountability for supporting GBA plus. The department also has 2 GBA plus co-champions who provide leadership in the promotion and implementation of GBA plus.
A departmental GBA plus Centre of Expertise exists to ensure that GBA plus is applied throughout the department. The Centre of Expertise has 4.5 full-time employees, and is responsible for:
- reviewing, assessing and providing early and ongoing guidance on all Cabinet documents;
- developing and disseminating tools, resources and guidance documents and organizing learning events to further GBA plus capacity within the department;
- collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to contribute to the advancement of GBA plus across the public service;
- ensuring compliance of initiatives, policies and programs with the Gender Results Framework, as well as the Gender Budgeting Act.
The Centre of Expertise is currently undertaking several initiatives to advance GBA plus capacity in the department. This includes:
- developing a Black-centric lens. This tool will be part of the GBA plus process to give targeted attention to Black Canadian communities. The Black-centric lens will help policy analysts take the history, needs and lived experiences of Black Canadian communities into account when doing their work. This will inform the design or modification of the department's programs, policies and services;
- continuing a GBA plus Community of Practice. This forum allows departmental employees to share best practices and learn new skills related to GBA plus. As a result employees are better equipped to apply it to their work;
- disseminating an official languages lens. This will help cabinet document drafters consider the specific needs of official language minority communities when designing or modifying the department’s programs, policies and services.
In addition to the above-noted Centre of Expertise, the department’s Skills and Employment Branch has a dedicated GBA plus unit. The unit was created with funding received in Budget 2019, and has 4 full-time employees. It is leading a GBA plus strategy for the Skills and Employment Branch specifically applied to labour market programming. It focuses on 2 key areas:
- capacity building, through the implementation of training and awareness activities for staff working on labour market programming. This will ensure Skills and Employment Branch programs have a strong GBA plus analytical capacity. Analysts will then be able to incorporate robust GBA plus in all stages of the development, implementation, and continual improvement of skills programs;
- knowledge and data, through providing skills programs with quantitative and qualitative data and tools to measure, monitor and improve program outcomes for Canadians. This includes the development and the implementation of a data collection plan to identify and address knowledge and data gaps.
Highlights of GBA plus results reporting capacity by program
This section covers each program in Employment and Social Development Canada’s program inventory. For each program, it indicates:
- whether the program collects sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity;
- when it does so, notable initiatives to expand the program’s capacity to report on impacts by gender and diversity;
- when it does not, actions are being taken to enable future monitoring or reporting of the program’s impacts by gender and diversity.
- For ease of reference, programs are grouped under the core responsibility they are associated with, where they are listed alphabetically.
Core responsibility 1: Social development
Accessible Canada Initiative
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
The program will improve its capacity to report on its impacts by gender and diversity through the upcoming Accessible Canada grants and contributions cycle. For the 2022 to 2023 cycle, the program will require grant recipients to propose projects that focus on supporting persons with diverse disabilities. Projects will also need to advance accessibility in ways that consider the intersection of disability with other identities. These include gender identity, official language identity, and race. As well, projects will need to support more diverse leadership within the disability community. All recipients will be required to report on data and outcomes related to GBA plus factors.
Canadian Benefit for Parents of Young Victims of Crime
No, this program does not collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
Given the nature of the program, no data is collected on benefit claimants in order to protect their privacy.
Early Learning and Child Care
No, this program does not collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
Provinces and territories which receive transfer payments are responsible for the delivery of programs and services, per their unique needs. Provinces and territories report annually on the impact of the federal investments (which could include GBA+ components, such as the number of inclusive spaces supported by federal funding). However, the program does not require the collection of sufficiently disaggregated data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
Moving forward, support projects and initiatives that identify data and research gaps and improve data collection and research, including GBA+ data.
Enabling Accessibility Fund
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
The Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF) program will continue to collect GBA+ related data from the final activity reports of grant funding recipients.
Since fiscal year 2021 to 2022, the program collects data on gender and diversity for EAF projects. The applicants are required to select the groups their proposed project will target. Data are then analyzed to determine program trends relative to GBA+. This approach will continue in future years, which will expand the program’s capacity to report on impacts by gender and diversity.
Indigenous Early Learning Child Care Transformation Initiative
No, this program does not collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
The department is in the process of co-developing an Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care results framework with First Nations, Inuit and Métis partners. Once developed and implemented, this framework will enable future monitoring or reporting of the program’s impacts by gender and diversity.
New Horizons for Seniors Program
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
The New Horizons for Seniors Program collects data from funded organizations on their projects’ impact and their target of diverse seniors. These include several variables such as age, gender, geographic location, disability status, indigenous status, ethnicity, immigration status and identification with LGBTQ2+. The program will continue to use this data in future years to evaluate its impact on seniors by gender and diversity.
Social Development Partnerships Program
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
Both components of the Social Development Partnerships Program will continue to collect data from funded organizations in future years. This information will expand the program’s capacity to report on impacts by gender and diversity, and other intersecting factors. These may include ethnicity, geographic location, Indigenous status, immigration status and identification with LGBTQ2+.
Social Innovation and Social Finance Strategy
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
Both components of the strategy also have plans to expand their capacity to report on impacts by gender and diversity.
The Investment Readiness Program put in place a new GBA plus data collection plan for 2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023. The program will collect data on the diversity of social purpose organizations’ leadership, and the populations they serve. It will also collect data on the amount of funding provided to social purpose organizations led by and serving diverse populations. Program will use this data to monitor its commitment to supporting diverse organizations to build their investment readiness capacity. It may also use it to support future policy decisions related to the Investment Readiness Program. In addition, this information will expand the program’s capacity to report on impacts by gender and diversity.
As well, the Social Finance Fund’s GBA plus data collection plan will be finalized and implemented in collaboration with social finance wholesalers. Funding agreements will contain a reporting framework that requires wholesalers to collect disaggregated data from social purpose organizations accessing the fund. This will allow them to monitor and ensure that funds reach a diversity of organizations and beneficiary populations.
Strategic Engagement and Research Program
No, this program does not collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
The Strategic Engagement and Research Program supports external organizations to conduct research and research-related events. It does not collect data as to its impacts by gender and diversity. However, the department will strive to ensure that any research on policies or programs undertaken incorporates a GBA plus approach. The department will work with the domestic or international organizations conducting research to identify and address data gaps within Canadian data, where applicable. It will also continue to advocate for a gender-disaggregated approach to research taking into account intersecting factors. Such factors including gender, age, disability issues, income, education, language, geography, race, etc.
Sustainable Development Goals Funding Program
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
The Sustainable Development Goals Funding Program collects data from funded organizations on their projects’ results and, when applicable, their target participants.
In fiscal year 2022 to 2023, the program will improve its data collection method to include socio-demographic variables. It will do it through a survey which will include questions framed to enhance GBA plus analysis and reporting. This will allow the program to collect demographic variables such as:
- gender identity;
- age;
- disability status;
- indigenous identity;
- visible minorities status;
- newcomers status;
- geographic location.
The program will therefore be able to better measure and report on its impacts by gender and diversity. The new survey version will be used until the end of fiscal year 2024 to 2025. It will be answered by organizations that receive grants, and contributions which are funded for over a 3-year period.
Core responsibility 2: Pensions and benefits
Canada Disability Savings Program
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
In fiscal year 2021 to 2022, the department collaborated with Statistics Canada to carry out a survey. The goal was to investigate the reasons eligible individuals have not yet opened a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP). Without a RDSP, these individuals do not benefit from the Canada Disability Savings Grants and Bonds. Results from the survey are expected to be available to the department in January 2022. The department will continue to analyze these results throughout the following fiscal year. This will help the Canada Disability Savings Program (CDSP) identify trends related to eligible individuals who do not have a RDSP. Looking at intersectional factors is done with a goal of identifying any potential barriers to opening a RDSP. This information will then be used to inform program activities for the 2022 to 2023 fiscal year and increase uptake. Supporting the broader uptake among diverse and underserved populations will enhance the financial security of persons with disabilities.

Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
Through the existing Performance Measurement Strategy for the agreements, GBA plus data is collected on an ongoing basis for all participants in programming. Over time, this will expand the program’s capacity to report on impacts by gender and diversity
Youth Employment and Skills Strategy
Yes, this program does collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity.
Socio-demographic data of participants is collected, but is self-reported on a voluntary basis. Many departments collect this data in a way that allows it to be linked to other performance indicators and different identity factors. The Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS) is working towards further standardization of data collection by departments. This will allow for more robust data analysis to inform policy and program research and development, including stronger GBA plus.
Significant work has been undertaken to enhance the YESS performance measurement framework, standardize outcomes and reporting across departments, and increase capacity for GBA plus analysis. YESS will improve GBA plus data collection by adding 2 new categories to the 2022 YESS Participant Information Template (PIT): 1) Official Language Minority Communities; and 2) Rural areas and remote communities.
In 2022 to 2023, YESS will also run a small pilot project to further disaggregate data in the PIT. The categories of “disability” and “visible minority” will be revised to be more inclusive and reflective of diverse youth identities. This will improve labour market data for YESS evidence-based policy decisions. New approaches to data collection and disaggregation will be tested with a small number of relevant organizations in 2022 to 2023. The program will use this to determine the best approach to broader implementation in fiscal year 2023 to 2024.
