CIDA designed the course, called Promoting Gender Equality – An Online Learning Course, for CIDA employees who work in Canada and abroad. However, the Agency has decided to post the course on its Web site to make it available to Canadians, CIDA partners and others interested in learning about CIDA's approach to promoting equality between women and men in international development cooperation.
This new course is based on CIDA's Policy on Gender Equality, which the Agency launched in 1999. As part of its commitment to gender equality, CIDA has been offering gender equality training sessions to its employees in the field and at headquarters for more than 15 years.This new online course replaces CIDA's 1997 Women in Development and Gender Equity CD-ROM.
The new online course will be one of many that CIDA's Continuous Learning Campus, which is currently being developing, will eventually offer.To access the course, you will need the Macromedia Authorware Web Player plug-in. Technical requirements are available below.
