This 12-month project will build the capacity of women's shelters across Canada (excluding Quebec) to respond to the immediate health and safety crisis posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and, in doing so, continue the important work of advancing gender equality in Canada. The organization will develop a process to disburse funding to women's shelters serving women and children victims of gender-based violence, including domestic violence, with the aim of addressing specific capacity and emergency preparedness needs. It will then coordinate the gathering, consolidation and analysis of information from recipient reporting on how funding was used. Other activities may be undertaken, as needed, including the transfer of knowledge on women's shelter needs, impacts, and responsive solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This 36-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the National Association of Friendship Centres and its members to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. A series of activities will be undertaken to build national, provincial/territorial and local capacity, including through training and research to guide the creation of resource manuals that share best practices on leadership, board governance, Indigenous-specific gender-based analysis and partnership development, collaboration and networking and strategic planning. These activities will particularly target the Indigenous women leaders that make up 70 per cent of friendship centres directors in Canada and will maintain supports through the development of an urban Indigenous women’s leadership network.
