Grants and Contributions

The project aims to provide women and adolescent girls in Giza with a greater understanding of their economic rights, and increase their ability to make effective choices and transform them into desired outcomes. Project activities include: (1) establishing women groups and conducting capacity building sessions for these groups on gender equality and rights, and decision making around issues that affect their lives; (2) providing training to women and adolescent girls on gender-responsive, environment -friendly technical skills, and occupational health and safety; (3) delivering gender-responsive financial education and autonomous decision-making training to women and adolescent girls; and (4) organizing policy dialogue and forums between carpet industry stakeholders, women’s rights organizations, and the National Council for Women on improving policies, programs and services for women’s economic empowerment and decent work.

The project expects to benefit 2,500 women (aged 19 and older) and 2,500 adolescent girls (between the ages of 15 and 18). The project also targets 945 men and 1,500 boys through men engagement interventions to address gender-specific barriers to women’s entrepreneurship, and create an enabling environment for women’s economic empowerment.

The project supports the work of the Overseas Development Institute’s Advancing Learning and Innovation on Gender Norms (ALIGN) platform. ALIGN works to strengthen the evidence base on harmful and discriminatory gender norms that are impeding progress on gender equality, and what works to change them.

Project activities include: (1) curating, generating, and synthesizing evidence on harmful and discriminatory gender norms to publish on the ALIGN digital platform, which is open and publicly accessible; (2) running a call for proposals as part of the ALIGN platform’s micro-granting facility, to support organizations in the Global South to conduct research and convene dialogues on gender norms with key stakeholders; and (3) providing capacity-building support to researchers and conveners to generate and communicate evidence to change harmful gender norms in their local contexts.

This project aims to build more resilient communities in Iraq from Daesh, in particular the governorates of Anbar and Ninewah, in order to counter the violent and sectarian narratives advanced by Daesh or/and other violent extremist organizations. The project works to provide front-line educators, educational institutions, and parents, with the tools necessary to address the exposure to violent extremism that Iraqi youth had during Daesh control. The project also engages key stakeholders, including women’s organizations, civil society, customary and local governance actors, to participate in efforts to prevent recruitment by violent non-state armed actors and mitigate the risk of radicalization in the two governorates.

This Project supports the Canadian community’s efforts to attract, retain and expand foreign direct investment (FDI) and is ultimately designed to strengthen the economy at the community level.

College and Community Social Innovation Fund (CCSIF) Grants are intended to foster social innovation by connecting the talent, facilities and capabilities of Canada’s colleges and polytechnics with the research needs of local community organizations. CCSIF proposals should facilitate collaborative social innovation research that brings together researchers, students and partners to address research challenges in social innovation, leading to solutions addressing a Canadian community need.

The CCSIF pilot program enables colleges to increase their capacity to work with communities, with the goal of developing partnerships that foster social innovation in areas such as education, integration of vulnerable populations, and community development.

Canada’s colleges and polytechnics are well equipped to contribute to social innovation initiatives by tapping into the knowledge, experience, facilities and community connections available through their departments and programs.
