This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership (WVL) Program. It supports local and regional women’s rights organizations (WROs), lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex plus (LBTQI+) groups and feminist networks working to promote the rights of women and girls and advance gender equality in developing countries. It provides multi-year core funding and rapid responsive funding, strengthening institutional capacity and bolstering feminist alliances, as WROs and their networks are critical change agents. The Program continues to respond to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and movements worldwide. It recognizes that those groups working at intersecting forms of discrimination and in crisis- and conflict-affected countries are funded even less. The Renewed WVL Program includes enhanced support for WROs, LBTQI+ organizations, and women human rights defenders working in crisis- and conflict-affected settings and a more intentional approach to reaching structurally excluded groups. This includes but is not limited to LBTQI+ communities, women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous women and girls and young feminists.

The project, implemented by Gender Links, supports approximately 50 rights-focused organizations across South Africa. The project helps them improve their structures, programming and capacity to deliver quality services in order to advance the rights of women, girls and gender non-conforming individuals.

The project aims to strengthen the resilience of health systems, communities and individuals in the Bounkani and Tchologo regions, by improving access to quality sexual and reproductive health services, as well as to gender- and conflict-sensitive professional training centers. On the one hand, the initiative works with health structures and various care providers to improve their capacity to deal with sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as gender-based violence. On the other hand, it aims to increase employability and access to financial resources to foster the economic empowerment of young women and mothers.
Project activities include: (1) training health providers in identifying and caring for survivors of gender-based violence; (2) providing health facilities with equipment, health products and medicines; (3) strengthening the organizational capacities of the Network of Women Mediators (Réseau des femmes médiatrices) in raising awareness and caring for survivors of gender-based violence, and in community intervention; and (4) building the capacity of the Women's Training and Education Institutes (instituts de formation et d'éducation féminine) and the Mobile Training Units (Unités mobiles de formation) to offer high-quality and diversified vocational training to women and girls in the Bounkani and Tchologo regions.

This initiative directly benefits around 3,040 people (60% of whom are women) and indirectly benefits 180,182 people living in the communities in the 2 regions targeted by the project.
