Gender
Focus on Africa Development Inc. commits to the process of incorporating a gender perspective into our organizational policies, strategies, administrative functions, and organizational culture.
Focus on Africa Development Inc. is at its most effective at delivering gender-integrated programming when our corporate policies and processes are gender-sensitive and support gender equality.
We recognize that this is an ongoing process that will require a sustained commitment of will, time, and resources. We further recognize that gender inequality is a relational issue, and as such, it can only be addressed by working with men as well as women.
In practice, this will require us to examine and (where necessary) revise the policies, formal and informal practices, and characteristics of our organization to ensure that they support gender equality.
Our activities will include:
Gender-sensitive policies: Gender-sensitive language and gender equality principles incorporated into policies.
Committed leadership: Leaders regularly communicate and demonstrate their commitment to organizational gender equality, e.g., through the recognition of efforts to advance policy objectives.
Gender training: Gender capacity-building opportunities made available to staff, e.g., through pieces of training and E-learning platforms.
HR practices: Gender-sensitive and gender-equitable practices integrated into:
- Job recruitment and hiring;
- Performance evaluations; and
- Remuneration-related processes to ensure equal pay for equal work.
Female staff targets: Our ambition is to achieve gender balance across all countries and at all levels
