Gender-based analysis plus (GBA+)

Institutional GBA+ capacity

The Office of the Auditor General of Canada’s (OAG’s) main impact is through audit work. Many of our direct engagements examine government programs and activities that affect different demographic groups and involve GBA+ considerations. Some of the resulting direct engagement reports directly or indirectly support GBA+ objectives by informing the discussions and analysis of intersecting identity factors conducted by government departments and agencies, parliamentarians, and Canadians.

The OAG’s departmental results framework currently does not include monitoring or reporting on data relating to GBA+ considerations at this time. The framework is currently being revised, and as part of this review, we will determine the extent to which GBA+ considerations should be incorporated into the updated framework and whether data from the OAG`s audit work may support related performance measurement indicators.

Highlights of GBA+ results reporting capacity by program

Legislative auditing

For each program in the department’s program inventory, answer the following questions:

  • Does this program have impacts that support the pillars and goals of the Gender Results Framework? [Yes/No]. Which ones?
  • Does this program collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity (GBA+)? [Yes/No]
  • If no, please describe what actions are being taken to enable future monitoring or reporting of the program’s impacts by gender and diversity.
  • If yes, please describe (as relevant) any notable initiatives to expand the program’s capacity to report on impacts by gender and diversity in the future.

The OAG’s program inventory does not include programs that provide services or benefits to individual Canadians.
