CanWaCH Learning Series

CanWaCH undertakes responsive convening and training of its members and partners with the ultimate goal of supporting members’ global health and gender equality activities. There is significant knowledge and expertise within our member organizations and the Learning Series offers a comprehensive and purpose-driven sequence of learning opportunities for members, associates and the global health community designed to foster knowledge exchange and offer practical capacity-building experiences across a consistent schedule. 

Themes and Cross-Cutting Issues

The selection of Learning Series themes is informed by CanWaCH’s 2018 and 2019 Member Surveys and the 2018 Gender Equality Capacity Mapping Survey, along with event and learning opportunity evaluations and feedback.
