Ce projet appuie la réalisation d'une vie empreinte de dignité pour les femmes et les filles des communautés défavorisées du Bangladesh, du Malawi, du Mozambique, du Pakistan et du Sri Lanka, en adoptant une approche holistique qui se concentre sur l'autonomisation par le soutien et la reconnaissance sociale et communautaire, la réussite scolaire et les débouchés économiques. Le projet vise l'égalité des genres et permet à 75 000 femmes et filles de bénéficier de formations et de soutien visant à améliorer leurs compétences et ainsi à mieux subvenir à leurs besoins et à ceux de leur famille, tout en contribuant à réduire la pauvreté dans leurs communautés. Fort de son expertise, le Commonwealth of Learning (COL) exploite le potentiel des technologies d'apprentissage en ligne et à distance, en combinaison avec une approche basée sur les besoins individuels, pour atteindre efficacement le plus grand nombre de bénéficiaires. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) l'organisation de séances de sensibilisation et de campagnes publiques sur l'égalité des genres, les droits de la personne, la santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs, la violence fondée sur le genre, le droit à l'éducation et autres; 2) le renforcement des capacités des organisations locales de défense des droits des femmes et de la société civile pour promouvoir l'autonomisation des femmes et des filles; 3) la mise en place d'écoles ouvertes et de centres d'apprentissage sûrs offrant des services de retour à l'école; 4) l'offre de cours professionnels propres au contexte et adaptés au marché du travail, la formation professionnelle et le renforcement des compétences entrepreneuriales; 5) le soutien à l'amélioration de l'accès des agricultrices et des entrepreneures aux marchés et aux services financiers.

This project supports the realization of a life of dignity for women and girls from disadvantaged communities in Bangladesh, Malawi, Mozambique, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, by adopting a holistic approach that focuses on empowerment through social and community support and recognition, educational attainment, and economic opportunities. The project promotes gender equality and provides skills for livelihood training to 75,000 women and girls, allowing them to better support themselves and their family, and contributing to reducing poverty in their communities. Based on its expertise, the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) harnesses the potential of appropriate learning-enhancing technologies to achieve both speed and scale. Project activities include: (1) holding awareness sessions and public campaigns on gender equality, human rights, sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender-based violence, the right to an education, etc.; (2) building capacity of local women’s rights and civil society organizations to support women and girls’ empowerment; (3) establishing open schooling and safe learning centers offering back-to-school services; (4) providing context-specific and labour market relevant vocational courses, skills training and entrepreneurship; and (5) supporting enhanced access of women farmers and entrepreneurs to market and institutional financial services.
