ISDA Webinar series on education and health
Transparency International Canada will co-host a two-part webinar series on education and health as part of its work under the Inclusive Service Delivery Africa project. The webinars build on the ISDA – Lessons from the Field conference held in Ottawa (October 23, 2025) and are designed to engage stakeholders in Canada and globally who were unable to attend in person.
Women, girls and marginalized communities continue to face barriers to accessing education and health services in Canada and abroad. While these barriers often stem from social, economic and institutional factors, governance and accountability gaps can deepen exclusion and shape access. These challenges influence who receives services, under what conditions, and at what cost, with lasting consequences for individuals and communities.
The ISDA webinar series will explore barriers affecting access to essential public services for women, girls and marginalized communities, and consider how governance, accountability and community engagement can help address gaps in access and inclusion. The sessions will convene Transparency International chapters and Canadian organisations to share country and regional experiences, practical examples, and lessons learned from education and health initiatives.
The Access to Education Webinar will take place on February 26th from 9:00 to 10:30 am EST.
The Access to Health Webinar will take place on March 5th from 9:00 to 10:30 am EST.
About ISDA
The Inclusive Service Delivery Africa project works with Transparency International chapters in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Madagascar, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, alongside partners in Canada and the United Kingdom. The project focuses on identifying and addressing barriers that limit access to education and health services for women, girls and marginalized communities.
Through this webinar series, Transparency International Canada aims to extend learning beyond the Ottawa conference and create space for knowledge exchange among civil society organisations, development practitioners and policy actors.
