This project seeks to increase the adoption of gender-smart approaches in the Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) sector. The Project plays a role in the InsuResilience Global Partnership and the Global Shield Against Climate Risks. These work to increase the financial protection of vulnerable people to minimize and address losses and damages associated with the impacts of climate change. Project activities include: (1) collecting and generating knowledge and evidence on emerging strategies and good practices for gender-smart approaches in the CDRFI sector; (2) providing guidance notes, toolkits, training and advisory services to policymakers and practitioners aiming to implement gender-smart solutions; (3) providing capacity-building opportunities on good practices in gender equality, including scholarships and leadership training for women; and (4) establishing a collaborative network platform where users can share evidence of their gender-smart solutions.

This project supports the World Health Organization in improving equitable health and well-being, especially those experiencing marginalization and vulnerable populations, in at least eight countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Project activities include: (1) designing and implementing innovative models of care for equitable access; and (2) providing technical assistance to implement guidance, tools and training on key areas of primary healthcare system governance, such as strengthening health workforce capacity.

This project builds on Canada’s funding to the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) during COVID-19. The initial project aims at accelerate the roll-out of safe, affordable, and effective COVID-19 diagnostics in Low- and Lower-Middle Income Countries. This project supports FIND in using testing technologies developed during COVID-19 to expand the range of diseases detected with a single test. This includes other respiratory diseases, sexually transmitted infections, and Human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screening for cervical cancer. The project aims to increase testing for the most marginalized, including women, children, and vulnerable groups.
Project activities include: (1) supporting the development of more straightforward sample collection methods, including self-sampling; and (2) conducting in-country customer preference surveys and barrier-to-access surveys to guide the final development and introduction of tests.

This project aims to improve the economic well-being of poor rural women, particularly ethnic minorities in Vietnam by increasing women’s participation in paid economic activities. The project also aims to challenge discriminatory gender norms by addressing the root causes of the unequal distribution of care work placed on women in Vietnam. At the national level, this project aims to influence the provision of public services, infrastructure, childcare and social protection policies.

The project aims to strengthen the evidence base on how women and girls experience poverty differently than men and boys by conducting a gender-based analysis of the data underpinning the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). The MPI is a measure of acute multidimensional poverty developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative and included as part of the United Nations Human Development Report since 2010.

Project activities include: (1) conducting a gender-based analysis of the MPI indicators where the data permits, specifically, adult nutrition, years of schooling, and child school attendance; (2) publishing data tables and methodological notes from this analysis to equip researchers and national offices of statistics to replicate this methodology in their local contexts; and (3) developing communications materials, including country-specific briefs and presentations, to discuss the findings with national policymakers.
