General
Ce projet soutient 770 placements de volontaires et vise à améliorer le bien-être économique et social des personnes les plus pauvres, les plus marginalisées et les plus vulnérables, en particulier les femmes et les filles en vue de contribuer aux objectifs de développement durable dans les pays ciblés. En plus d'accroître la participation des Canadiennes et des Canadiens au développement international, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'égalité des genres, la croissance économique et la gouvernance inclusive, le projet vise également à renforcer les capacités de plus de 60 organisations locales de la société civile et partenaires gouvernementaux, dont 72 % sont des organisations de défense des droits des femmes, afin d'offrir des programmes plus solides dans les secteurs suivants : droits des femmes, accès à la justice, réduction de la violence sexiste et autonomisation et leadership économiques. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) élaborer des plans et des initiatives de renforcement des capacités organisationnelles sur l'inclusion sociale des femmes, les droits de la personne et la durabilité environnementale pour les partenaires; 2) organiser des campagnes pancanadiennes de sensibilisation et des activités de partage des connaissances axées sur les droits des femmes, l'accès à la justice, la violence faite aux femmes, le leadership et la justice économique et environnementale; 3) créer des fonds thématiques spéciaux pour promouvoir l'égalité des genres, le renforcement du pouvoir économique, les droits humains, la viabilité environnementale et l'innovation; 4) former les volontaires de retour au pays pour qu'ils continuent d'être des champions de l'égalité des genres et de faire progresser les droits des femmes après leur placement.
This project supports 770 volunteer placements, and aims to improve the economic and social well-being of the poorest, most marginalized and vulnerable people, especially women and girls, with a view to contributing to sustainable development goals in the target countries. In addition to increasing the participation of Canadians in international development, particularly in the areas of gender equality, economic growth and inclusive governance, the project also aims to strengthen the capacity of more than 60 local civil society organizations and government partners, 72% of which are women's rights organizations, to deliver stronger programming in the areas of women's rights, access to justice, reduction of gender-based violence, and economic empowerment and leadership. Project activities include : (1) developing organizational capacity building plans and initiatives on women's social inclusion, human rights and environmental sustainability for partners; (2) organizing pan-Canadian awareness campaigns and knowledge sharing activities focusing on women's rights, access to justice, violence against women, leadership, and economic and environmental justice; (3) creating special thematic funds to promote gender equality, economic empowerment, human rights, environmental sustainability and innovation; and (4) providing train to returned volunteers to continue to be champions of gender equality and advance women's rights after their placement.
