Gender-based analysis plus
Institutional GBA Plus Capacity
PacifiCan’s GBA Plus Responsibility Centre (the Centre) is the focal point for GBA Plus across the agency working to advance equity and inclusion across all identity factors, including gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, age, and mental or physical disability.
Through the provision of information, training and guidance, the Centre actively supports and monitors the implementation of GBA Plus across the agency.
Capacity
PacifiCan continues to increase awareness and build knowledge of GBA Plus within the agency by promoting GBA Plus training and courses and is developing expertise and resources required to further integrate GBA Plus considerations in the agency’s work.
Under the new Departmental Results Framework, PacifiCan will collect data and report on the number of PacifiCan program recipients that are majority led by underrepresented groups and on the number of underrepresented clients served by PacifiCan programming.
| Program 1.1: Innovation | For monitoring and/or reporting program impacts by gender and diversity (GBA+) under this program, the agency collects data from clients, when applicable, on:
The data enable PacifiCan to identify whether its assistance is helping businesses in British Columbia grow through innovation while creating well-paying jobs for people in underrepresented groups. The outcomes will be reported through program evaluation. |
|---|---|
| Program 1.2: Business Growth | For monitoring and/or reporting program impacts by gender and diversity (GBA+) under this program, the agency collects data from clients, when applicable, on:
The data enable PacifiCan to identify whether its assistance is helping businesses in British Columbia be competitive and export their products/services while increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in the economy. The outcomes will be reported through program evaluation. |
| Program 1.3: Business Services | The agency is not collecting data under this program for monitoring and/or reporting program impacts by gender and diversity through its internal administrative/program database. PacifiCan and all regional development agencies (RDAs) have requested Statistics Canada to incorporate GBA+ information in its annual analysis assessing the business impacts of enterprises that received assistance under the Community Futures Program. The outcomes of the Community Futures Program in British Columbia, supported by PacifiCan, will be reported in the analysis prepared by Statistics Canada. |
| Program 1.4: Community Initiatives | For monitoring and/or reporting program impacts by gender and diversity (GBA+) under this program, the agency collects data from clients, when applicable, on:
During economic shocks, natural disasters, challenging economic circumstances, or depressed economic conditions, people in underrepresented groups tend to be faced with stronger adverse impacts. These data enable PacifiCan to identify how well PacifiCan’s intervention is helping underrepresented groups across British Columbia to weather the impact of any economic downturns. These data also track how PacifiCan’s assistance in helping rural and urban communities can enhance economic growth and create jobs for all gender, age and other diversity groups. The outcomes will be reported through program evaluation. |
