Gender-based analysis plus
General information: Institutional GBA Plus capacity
Governance
The CFIA maintains a team of analysts who work on Gender-based analysis plus (GBA Plus) and serve as a GBA Plus focal point to help ensure that the CFIA considers the impact of our programs, policies, and services on diverse sub-populations and underrepresented groups in Canada. The CFIA's GBA Plus Data Strategy is designed to improve the amount of disaggregated data collected for CFIA programs by working on the development of GBA Plus data plans, to be approved in 2024.
The GBA Plus focal point also works with all branches and program areas to raise awareness of the GBA Plus requirements and provides guidance, training, and tools on the application of available disaggregated data to inform Cabinet documents and budget proposals. In addition, the focal point co-leads the CFIA GBA Plus community of practice and participates in related networks and meetings led by Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) and Women and Gender Equality (WAGE).
Capacity
The CFIA considers the impact of its programs, policies, and services on diverse sub-populations and underrepresented groups in Canada.
The CFIA will further integrate GBA Plus and diversity into decision-making. This integration will encourage the application of GBA Plus within the agency and strengthen performance and reporting on GBA Plus, with results being shared with the agriculture and health portfolios and WAGE.
The focus will be on the following:
Increasing access to disaggregated data to support GBA Plus analysis specific to the CFIA's stakeholders
- Focus efforts on GBA Plus integration in key functional areas, including audit and evaluation, training development, and human resources, while continuing to have a need for enhanced capacity and expertise in GBA Plus
- Utilize the CFIA's 4-year GBA Plus Data Collection Strategy to guide the creation of GBA Plus data collection plans for each program. The GBA Plus Data Collection Strategy was initiated in 2022 and is on track into 2024 to 2025:
- Year 1 (2022): Established program baselines for GBA Plus data collection through updates to the CFIA's Departmental Results Framework and identified gaps and priorities, notably operational priorities, readiness, risks, and impact on diverse populations; progress continued into 2023
- Year 2 (2023): Defined and mapped data requirements against the CFIA's enabling information technology infrastructure and additional existing data sources (including external qualitative and quantitative sources) and aligned with other data, indicator, and reporting-based initiatives in the agency
- Year 3 (2024): Integrate findings into business requirements through the agency's investment planning process
- Year 4 (2025): Test, operationalize, and review; scale up to remaining programs that have not yet been covered
- Apply a comprehensive and consistent approach across all of the CFIA's programs to develop and implement the GBA Plus data collection plans
- Identify common and consistent data sources for GBA Plus reporting and determine linkages with the results management framework and other risk intelligence information sources
- Examine the GBA Plus data collection plans based on operational priorities, readiness, risks, and impact on diverse population groups
Implementing the Health Portfolio Sex- and Gender-Based Analysis Plus (SGBA Plus) Policy
- Participate in discussions with health portfolio partners regarding the implementation of the revised health portfolio SGBA Plus policy
- Contribute to the health portfolio SGBA Plus survey
- Complete a proposal to make the Canada School of Public Service/WAGE foundational course on SGBA Plus required training at the CFIA
Integrating GBA Plus into functional areas
- Focus on strengthening the agency's knowledge and practical application of the framework by promoting training opportunities and the use of guidance and resources available to conduct GBA Plus
- Work with CFIA directorates and branches to integrate GBA Plus into functional areas and to implement GBA Plus data plans
- Continue to incorporate GBA Plus analysis into decision-making to better understand how its regulations, programs, and services could affect underrepresented and vulnerable populations
Providing corporate support for GBA Plus focal point activities
- Provide input to Departmental Plan/Departmental Results Report and GBA Plus supplementary information table
- Provide tailored guidance to program officers conducting GBA Plus analyses
- Perform a challenge function for GBA Plus analyses completed for memoranda to Cabinet, Treasury Board submissions, and regulatory/budget proposals
- Conduct on-demand reviews of the CFIA's policies and proposals
- Organize communications and awareness activities
- Organize events for the GBA Plus Awareness Week
Highlights of GBA Plus results reporting by program
Setting Rules for Food Safety and Consumer Protection
Does this program collect sufficient data to enable it to monitor and/or report program impacts by gender and diversity (GBA Plus)? No
While certain indicators within the program collect GBA Plus data, the agency plans to continue improving the amount of data available across all programs.
The CFIA recognizes the importance of using GBA Plus in the development of its policies, programs, and regulations. For programs related to food safety and consumer protection, although the CFIA does not collect, monitor, or evaluate gender disaggregated microdata at this time, the agency does use health and census information from Statistics Canada studies, like the Census of Agriculture, to consider socio-economic factors such as age, gender (woman-owned businesses), income (small to medium-sized businesses), race, and geography.
Using GBA Plus as a framework for strategic communications, engagement, and data gathering on diverse stakeholder impacts and needs will provide the CFIA with the essential evidence required for informed decision-making on its policies, programs, regulations, and other initiatives.
The CFIA GBA Plus Data Strategy has been approved based on a 4-year timeline. In 2023, the CFIA completed year 2 of a 4-year GBA Plus data collection strategy. Each program was tasked with the development of a GBA Plus Data Collection Plan by the end of 2023 to 2024 with a goal to apply a comprehensive and consistent approach across all CFIA programs by 2026. The agency continued to establish a baseline of internal GBA Plus data and monitored and gathered relevant qualitative and quantitative data to inform decision-making.
The CFIA is committed to gathering more robust data on key client demographics such as geographic location, business size, and business activities to develop guidance, communications, and engagement mechanisms tailored to diverse populations and to address barriers faced by its stakeholders. In its policy, program, and service activities, the CFIA will continue to engage stakeholders and monitor their feedback to inform gender and diversity considerations. Monitoring and evaluation strategies would be informed by surveys, My CFIA (the agency's public website for clients and stakeholders), concerns raised through Contact CFIA online, and other stakeholder interactions.
In the spirit of continuous improvement, the CFIA is also working on initiatives that could have positive impacts on gender and diversity factors. For example, the CFIA, in collaboration with AAFC, is supporting the development of a strategy to address gender gaps across the agriculture and agri-food value chain.

The CFIA GBA Plus Data Strategy has been approved based on a 4-year timeline. In 2023, the CFIA completed year 2 of a 4-year GBA Plus data collection strategy. Each program was tasked with the development of a GBA Plus Data Collection Plan by the end of 2023 to 2024 with a goal to apply a comprehensive and consistent approach across all CFIA programs by 2026. The agency continued to establish a baseline of internal GBA Plus data and monitored and gathered relevant qualitative and quantitative data to inform decision-making. Along with ongoing engagement data, the CFIA will continue to gather and analyze DSDP data to learn more about potential barriers, impacts, and needs of the CFIA's diverse clients and stakeholders and improve its programs and services accordingly. This program captures, at regular intervals, GBA Plus metrics for some indicators related to income, business size, geographic location, and type of activities.
