This 19-month project will support the efforts of women’s and equality seeking civil society organizations (CSOs) in Canada to prepare for, participate in and follow up on international events and processes to mark the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference of Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA).

To achieve this, CRIAW will ensure that an intersectional analysis is applied to the Beijing +30 review process to identify the progress being made, gaps and emerging challenges; identify what is required to accelerate the implementation of the BPfA, including for specific groups of women and girls in Canada that experience intersecting forms of discrimination; ensure that Canadian civil society participation in Beijing +30 reflects women and girls in all their diversity, and provides a space for the voices of Indigenous women and two-spirit people, women with disabilities, Black and racialized women, immigrant and migrant women, 2SLGBTQI women and non-binary folk, among others; liaise and communicate with the Canadian government regarding civil society recommendations, Beijing +30 activities and Canada’s progress in its implementation; and build capacity and share knowledge among CSOs to participate in policy and program analysis to advance women’s rights and gender equality in Canada in accordance with international and domestic obligations.

Through this 19-month project, Women in Resource Development Corporation (WRDC) will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address the organization’s needs due to its recent exponential growth.

Specific activities will include strategic plan development, governance and operational policies and process review, board and leadership development, legal oversight on contracts and agreements, diversifying revenue and income sources, and strengthening communications and stakeholder relations.

Through this 19-month capacity building project, Clan Mothers Turtle Lodge will enhance their capacity to revise their current financial and administrative policies to reflect an Indigenous and matrilineal approach.

Clan Mothers Turtle Lodge will review all current financial policies and procedures to ensure they are reflective of the organizational vision of being women-led, Indigenous-led and matrilineal in focus. Complete project management, financial literacy and leadership training will be provided to all staff to enhance organizational capacity. Clan Mothers Turtle Lodge will develop a 3-year strategic plan that encompasses all current and future programming. A reporting tool will be developed and implemented to support engagement with community partners and funders.

This project will focus on the development of leadership capacity in both the Clan Mothers organization and in women and 2SLGBTQI+ organizations across Western Canada and Northwestern Ontario.

Through this 19-month systemic change project, West Central Women's Resource Centre will scale efforts to achieve gender-equity in access to affordable housing through public policy and systems change to advance women’s economic security in MB.

The project will also provide professional training programs to build the capacity of working group members to advocate for public policy change, and to develop and provide information and training sessions to the women and gender-diverse community members they serve. The project will also develop a public policy advocacy strategy tool kit to support the working group to implement this project and other advocacy efforts beyond the life of this project in MB.

This will be achieved by developing a communications plan and a policy and best practices advocacy plan to ensure fair wages and working conditions in the sector. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.
