What is Digna’s mandate?

Digna’s mandate is to help Canadian international development and humanitarian organizations improve their ability to PSEA in the delivery of international assistance towards their program participants – particularly women and girls. Digna aims to increase awareness of, access to, and use of gender-responsive policies and good practices to PSEA.

Digna has no mandate to monitor compliance for whether organizations are meeting GAC requirements, but instead supports organizations in living up to their responsibilities and accountability requirements.
