I am the Canadian Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Expert for the Modernization of the Civil Service of Peru (MODSERV) project, funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Alinea International. MODSERV supports Peru’s public service commission, SERVIR in its efforts to improve public administration for the benefit of Peru. The end result of the project is to improve national, regional and local civil services in Peru, particularly in the regional governments of Piura and La Libertad in the north, and Cusco and Arequipa in the south.

This is being achieved by:

• Strengthening the institutionalization of a gender-sensitive and inclusive Human Resources Management Administrative System (SAGRH) within SERVIR and at the three levels of government.

• Enhanced implementation by SERVIR of an inclusive and gender sensitive SAGRH within selected ministries to test implementation at the national level and within specific regional and local governments.
