SUMMARY:FUTURE OF GOOD LIVE: CANADA'S FEMINIST INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE POLICY
DESCRIPTION:A new Auditor General report concluded that Global Affairs Canada was unable to demonstrate how Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) contributed to improving gender equality in low- and middle-income countries. Significant weaknesses in Global Affairs Canada’s information management practices prevented it from assessing outcomes and reporting completely to Parliament and Canadians. How might INGOs integrate FIAP in their missions moving forward? What actions should GAC take to address this? What are the implications for development assistance and gender policy domestically? \nWhile the Government of Canada launched the FIAP with the main objective of ending poverty around the world\, Future of Good reported that almost 6 years later\, FIAP has not been implemented as an official policy or integrated into Canada’s Official Development Assistance Accountability Act (2008). Join editor reporter Shannon Van Raes and experts in the international development sector as they dive into the complexities of the AG’s findings and FIAP implementation on gender based analysis and development assistance. You’ll understand the state\, severity and cascading effects of the issue as well as learn about what this means for Canada’s contribution to the SDGs\, funding and reporting for INGOs and more. \nClick here for more information and to register!

SUMMARY:Presentation and Discussion by Faysal El-Kak from the American University of Beirut\, Vice President of FIGO on sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) and gender equality and inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Location: IDRC offices: 45 O’Connor Street\, 6th Floor \nDate and time: March 28\, 2023 9:00 AM-10:30 AM \nTo attend virtually: Click here to join the meeting \n\nMeeting ID: 222 179 504 096\nPasscode: ngQyy9\n\nDespite the progress that have been made with sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) at the conceptual and practical levels\, challenges continue to deter the path to more equitable health outcomes for all. From COVID-19 epidemic threat to the inclusivity failure\, to legal and financial barriers\, and restrictive gender norms\, essential SRHR services are the first to fall out and to have its links to SDG2030 strained. Adolescents/youth\, refugees\, and women in menopausal transition are important to include in SRH\, as well as including SRH services in the essential package of health services remains a primary task. There is a need for a true representation of diversity of voices and variety of relevant partners to regain SRHR and strengthen its positioning globally to contribute to achievement of SDGs. Specific examples from an IDRC-funded project that examines sexual and reproductive rights and the link between these rights and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) among Syrian women refugees in Lebanon will be highlighted. \nDr Faysal El Kak is Vice President of FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics)\, a Director of the Women Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) Program and clinical associate of OBGYN and Female Sexual Dysfunction\, Department of OBGYN\, American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC)\, a senior lecturer of Health Behavior\, Sexuality and Public Health at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the American University of Beirut (AUB). He is involved in clinical and academic/research services in both academic and community levels\, this includes running a community clinic where he works on services\, research\, and advocacy related to Syrian refugee health and marginalized Lebanese in the host community\, especially women’s health. Dr El Kak has published two books on maternal mortality\, and several book chapters\, as well as many media articles and appearances. \nFor more information or to RSVP to attend in person\, please email Chaitali Sinha\, Senior Program Specialist at csinha@idrc.ca

SUMMARY:Décoloniser les savoirs et les pratiques : un impératif de justice sociale – N°2
DESCRIPTION:Heure : 16.00 – 17.30 (CET) – 10.00 – 11.30 (HEC) \nInscriptions : Les inscriptions sont gratuites. Le lien de connexion au webinaire vous sera communiqué après votre inscription. \nInscrivez-vous ici : https://bit.ly/decoloniser-savoirs \n\nRésumé\nCe webinaire est le second d’une série sur le thème de la décolonisation des savoirs et des pratiques en promotion de la santé. L’objectif premier de cette série de webinaires est de permettre une réflexion critique sur la hiérarchie des savoirs\, laquelle n’a pas cessé de s’imposer en promotion de la santé malgré le nombre accru de voix qui s’élèvent pour un changement de paradigme à cet égard. La décolonisation des savoirs et des pratiques en promotion de la santé répond à un impératif de justice sociale puisqu’elle implique de mettre en lumière les mécanismes politiques et sociaux susceptibles de contribuer à la propagation et l’accroissement des inégalités de santé à l’échelle globale. \nCe webinaire explore des pistes propices à une co-production des savoirs et des pratiques\, intégrative et plurielle\, portée par des politiques publiques rigoureuses et efficaces. Nous aborderons la question en examinant deux sphères d’activité : la recherche et l’expertise. La domination fondée sur les savoirs (épistémique) au sein de la recherche universitaire relève avant tout d’une problématique d’ordre systémique puisqu’elle est le plus souvent directement reliée aux sources de financement. De même\, la tendance à favoriser les expertises provenant de l’extérieur au détriment d’expertises locales dans les pays du Sud ou communautés fragilisées du Nord s’inscrit dans une dynamique hiérarchique restrictive et relativement peu efficace. Dans les deux cas\, une réflexion critique et prospective s’impose. \nEn nous appuyant sur trois études de cas\, nous proposons de réfléchir aux balises à poser pour promouvoir des collaborations entre chercheurs\, décideurs et acteurs de terrain à la fois justes et fructueuses. \n\nPluriversalité des savoirs en santé publique : Que retenir des philosophes africains pour la recherche et la pratique ici et ailleurs ? par Lara Gautier. Cette présentation proposera un bref aperçu des penseurs africains s’inscrivant dans le courant décolonial et la pluriversalité des savoirs. Elle présentera ensuite des exemples concrets de l’intégration de ces perspectives dans la recherche et la pratique en santé publique dans différents contextes.\n La (dé)colonisation comme cadre de référence pour examiner les idées et approches populaires touchant les programmes de repas scolaires\, par Irene Torres. Cette présentation interroge certains des objectifs idéologiques qui semblent travailler en arrière-plan des programmes d’alimentation scolaire destinés à améliorer la santé et le bien-être des enfants et ce\, tout en réduisant l’impact environnemental. Au-delà de la critique\, nous explorerons ensemble une approche alternative plus en phase avec les missions de l’école au sens large\, avec le potentiel de soutenir la promotion de l’équité\, du bien-être\, de la citoyenneté\, de la cohésion sociale et peut être même de la démocratie.\nIncidence de l’écoute sur la santé mentale et physique des femmes en situation de précarité\, par Khadija Mettat. Dans le travail de soutien aux femmes en situation de précarité souffrant de problèmes de santé physique ou mentale\, l’écoute active et bienveillante est fondamentale car elle permet\, d’une part\, d’établir une base de partage de connaissances entre tous les acteurs impliqués dans le processus\, et d’autre part\, d’amorcer un plan d’aide structuré adapté aux besoins de chacune. Les bien-fondés de cette approche seront discutés ici à l’aide d’exemples concrets tirés du travail de terrain effectué par l’équipe de formateurs de l’association Santé et Formation au Maroc.\n\nCliquez ici pour en savoir plus!

SUMMARY:Neglected Tropical Diseases and WASH\, Spotlight on Trachoma
DESCRIPTION:In honor of World Water Day on March 22 and the UN Conference on Water\, the Canadian Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNNTD)\, in partnership with Operation Eyesight Universal and the University of Calgary\, Alberta Council for Global Cooperation\, highlight Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) as diseases needing equitable access to Water\, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for their prevention and management. NTDs affect over 1.7 billion people (globally\, 1 in 5)\, most of whom live in under-resourced and underserved communities that lack access to water and sanitation and primary health care. Although the scale of NTDs as a public health problem makes the solutions seem daunting\, this session shares successes in NTD prevention and treatment globally that have been supported by Canadians within the global health community. One organization doing NTD elimination through global partnership is Operation Eyesight. The provision of clean water\, along with other critical efforts\, is preventing and supporting the treatment of Trachoma in Kenya\, Zambia and Ethiopia. Learn about impact stories\, WHO strategies to eliminate Trachoma and other NTDs\, and Canada’s contributions towards achieving health for all. \nClick here to register!
