Evaluation of Health Canada's Sex and Gender Action Plan 2017-18 to 2019-20 / prepared by Office of Audit and Evaluation, Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.: H14-486/2021E-PDF

"Health Canada's Sex and Gender Action Plan was launched in May 2017 with the aim of systematically integrating sex and gender considerations into all of Health Canada's research, legislation, policies, regulations, programs, and services. Doing so would help to maximize the positive impacts of Health Canada's programs, while reducing the risk of inadvertent harm to the health of some Canadians. The Action Plan is a Health Canada-wide initiative that is managed by the Gender and Health Unit (GHU) of the Strategic Policy Branch. It includes a Coordinating Committee of branch representatives as part of its governance structure. The initial focus of the evaluation was to provide guidance to the Gender Health Unit (GHU) to inform planning for the renewal of the Action Plan. Particular attention was paid to branch priority initiatives and the Policy-Research Partnership with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Gender and Health (CIHR-IGH). Considerations were given to the governance structures and activities that supported the goals of the Action Plan"--Executive summary, page iii.
