Here, she refers to the leadership of Sida on gender issues and mentioned Canada’s emulation of Sweden’s successful ‘gender tip-sheet’ approach to assist CIDA in more effective gender mainstreaming. She also refers to CIDA as a leader in the field because one CIDA approach to programming in Asia was being emulated by Britain’s Department for International Development (DFID). When probed to further elaborate on other donor influence on CIDA policy, she continued:

Hmm, influenced by other donors on a gender equality policy. When I saw this question,4 I did put down the DAC and the UN, like, as a group. But in terms of specific bilateral donors, I think less so. At a country level, we might see a different picture, but, I can give you some examples where, yes, we have been the lead of a donor round table suggesting that we bring together the donors on gender equality or that there’s analysis lacking in the PRSP and how we can address that as a group. On our work with the ADB, it’s multiple donors with DANIDA and Norway. It’s not just CIDA leading the charge, but I don’t think we can take credit for always being the leader. So at a policy level, perhaps it’s the broad, you know, like the UN and the DAC. When it comes to programming and tools and practices, then yeah, it’s a sharing back and forth, but I can’t point to one specific donor that I think has been particularly influential across the board […] a specific donor doesn’t come to mind. At a country level, that might be a different picture, depending on the country.
