The development of a Project Implementation Plan to implement and evaluate a ”collective impact” approach to address gender-based violence (GBV) across the province involving stakeholders from different sectors working together to expand the capacity to address GBV in Saskatchewan.

The focus of the IEA's work will be data collection and analyses related to knowledge-building on gender diversity in the energy sector. Funding will support the collection and analysis of information related to women in clean technology, which will then be used to populate surveys and studies that will be shared widely with member countries to help facilitate evidence-based policymaking and decisions.

Strengthen and expand the network of youth social activists for gender equality and the prevention of violence against women in six provinces.

The development of a Project Implementation Plan to test the implementation of Community Advocacy Networks which are formal partnerships with stakeholders working on gender-based violence (GBV) issues, in order to deliver culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and survivor-centric practices for non-status, refugee and immigrant women.

Project activities include: (1) designing, equipping and servicing the five elementary schools to incorporate climate resiliency, school safety and the gender specific needs of school girls and women teachers and school staff; and (2) helping the capacity of the Government of Dominica to respond to climatic events by providing climate risk insurance coverage through the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF).

The development of a Project Implementation Plan to test and evaluate a decentralized model of gender-based violence support in order to create and enhance accessible, context-specific, culturally-relevant responses to gender-based violence within and across marginalized communities.

Under the eligibility criteria of the Grants to International Affiliations Program, this grant is made specifically toward the travel costs of a non-governmental Canadian delegate to attend a related international meeting of the supported international affiliation.

RFNB will build upon the CMA's event which brings together Acadians from across the globe to host a women’s summit with feminist speakers and panelists, women in the political sphere, women Chief Executive Officers and various members of the media to discuss gender equality. During the women’s summit, the organization will address feminism and gender equality through different segments, such as women’s participation in civic and democratic life.

This will enable them to effectively articulate and analyze women's rights developed at the international level and remedy systemic gender-based wrongs in their Canadian contexts. Activities include mobilizing women’s organizations through a civil society engagement process, and developing a ‘made in Canada’ strategy for implementing the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) recommendations.

This 16-month project will examine the role of feminism and gender equality in Acadian communities in Atlantic Canada. Through the coordination of a Women’s Summit within the larger World Acadian Congress, participants will be mobilized to address the socio-cultural and socio-economic factors that impede gender equality for women within Acadian, Francophone and official language minority communities. Panels, roundtables and a large scale plenary with various stakeholders will allow discussion around women’s civic, democratic and economic participation in rural, urban and remote communities, and inform recommendations and a framework for a Gender Equality Action Plan for Acadian communities in Atlantic Canada.
