Gender

Rotarians understand that gender equality is a key component of sustainable development. CRCID focuses strongly upon gender equality through equal participation of women and men.Gender equality is implemented through decision makers in all phases of our development initiatives. Community needs assessments, planning, implementation, reporting; and, evaluation are all tools we use to ensure gender equality.

Sensitivity to gender issues will ensure that, as Canadian Rotarians develop their programs and projects, gender will be a component of these initiatives.

As part of this process of gender sensitivity, the CRCID applications for funding will explicitly request gender-related information. These applications will be screened by the CRCID Secretariat to ensure gender equality is addressed.
