The acquisition of power, race, class, and these are also gender structures.

Through policy dialogue, Canadian international development agencies and their partners exchange opinions and information, raising issues related to the policy environment in which they operate.

It can be done through formal discussions such as the advisory group, or informal discussions through periodic contacts.

Gender mainstreaming is a genderized political and policy practice and a new gender strategy for development theory. As an approach, mainstreaming gender perspectives is an approach to promoting gender equality. It is also aimed at effectively improving policy aspects by making the gender characteristics of assumptions, processes and results visible. However, as a theoretical form, gender mainstreaming is a process of modifying important concepts to establish a more fulfilling gender world, rather than establishing another gender theory.

Mainstreaming is not its own purpose, it is a strategy, method, and means to achieve the goal of gender equality. Mainstreaming ensures that concerns on gender perspectives and gender equality targets are essential to all activities, namely policy planning, research, advocacy / dialogue, legislation, resource allocation, planning, planning and implementation and monitoring of projects . The patience to gender mainstreaming is one of the most effective means to promote gender equality at all levels of the United Nations. Development efforts
