GLOSSARY
In French, the practice of differentiated (gender-based) analysis goes by several different names. The following are all similar practices.
- Analyse différenciée selon les sexes (ADS+) at the province level;
- Analyse comparative selon les sexes (ACS+) at the federal level;
- Analyse différenciée selon la diversité (ADSD);
- Analyse différenciée anti-oppressive (ADAP);
- Approche décisionnelle inclusive (ADI);
- Analyse différenciée selon les genres (ADG+).
In French, CAFE uses ADG+, consistent with its values and principles of justice and equality, including solidarity with people of all gender identities and expressions. (In English we use the common English abbreviation, GBA+.)
INTRODUCTION TO GBA+
GBA+ is about adopting an egalitarian lens by which to examine complex realities and avoid or correct discrimination.
- A rigorous analytical method
- A means to fight inequality and discrimination
- A way to ask the right questions at all stages of development, implementation and evaluation
WHO IS GBA+ FOR?
This tool is intended for all local, regional and governmental stakeholders, including:
- MRC and municipal staff;
- Municipal and regional elected officials and their representatives;
- Para-governmental organization staff; and
- Organization employees.
WHAT IS GBA+?
Intersectional gender-based analysis (GBA+) consists in:
- Preventing the creation or reproduction of inequalities between women, men, non-binary and gender-identified people, by discerning the potential impacts of a proposed law, regulation, policy, strategy, action plan, program, measure, service or any decision affecting citizens;
- Countering systemic discrimination that can occur in seemingly neutral interventions; and
- Taking into account intersectionality (i.e., other forms of possible discrimination, such as discrimination relating to age, socio-economic status, ethno-cultural background, various limitations, sexual orientation, etc., and their combined effects).
It applies to all stages of a project or proposal, from development to implementation to evaluation.
