Project Description
To mainstream the equality between women and men dimension more effectively in the cooperation program between Canada and Cameroon CIDA has developed an action plan. The support project covers the financial needs of the equality between women and men action plan making it possible to carry out the following activities: capacity building of the program’s partners in equality between women and men; évaluation of the mainstreaming of equality between women and men in the cooperation program between Canada and Cameroon; facilitation of a working group among development partners on equality between women and men; and hiring of a local resource person as a equality between women and men specialist.
Progress & Results Achieved
Results achieved as of the end of the project (September 2010) include: Cameroon has made significant progress in integrating gender perspectives into its national policies programs projects and budgets. Gender considerations are thus now integrated into Cameroon's vision paper for 2035 and into its growth and employment strategy paper. National budgets for the 2010 fiscal year also integrate gender considerations thanks to the training provided through the project for all officials involved in the national budgeting chain especially parliamentarians and the officials responsible for developing and controlling the government's capital expenditures budget.
