World Future Policy Award 2024 : Finalist Spotlight 1. Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (2017) Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP), focuses on promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls. Its feminist approach addresses systemic gender inequalities, engages men and boys, and fosters inclusive participation. The policy has been implemented in countries like Afghanistan (supporting women’s rights and economic empowerment), Iraq (establishing centres for survivors of sexual violence), Senegal (empowering women in agriculture), and Cambodia (improving food security through climate-resilient agriculture). The FIAP’s influence extends to international development policies, contributing to sustainable peace and security initiatives. As Canada approaches its 2025 elections, continued support for policies like FIAP, which promote gender equality and peace, remains crucial.

Redefining Prevention Programs through Gender-Sensitive Solutions. Prevention strategies must address the root causes of GBV to create long-term change. To effectively prevent GBV, international NGOs need to adopt new gender-sensitive programs that educate refugees and host communities about gender equality, empower women economically, and engage men and boys as allies. Camps like Dadaab and Kakuma (Kenya) have seen success by integrating GBV prevention within livelihood and education programs, offering practical and sustainable solutions. 📖 Reference: [Save the Children - Dadaab GBV Assessment](https://lnkd.in/dJGhEmww) | [UN SDG Goal 5](https://lnkd.in/dzV3MY6M) #GBVPrevention #GenderEquality #Dadaab #LivelihoodPrograms
