This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). Canada’s core funding is used to support UN Women’s triple mandate of support for gender equality norms and standards; UN System coordination and operational work. Canada's support to UN Women helps to advance Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy as well as Canada’s international efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Working for the empowerment and rights of women and girls globally, UN Women’s main roles are: to support inter-governmental bodies, such as the Commission on the Status of Women, in their formulation of policies, global standards and norms; to assist Member States in implementing these standards through its operational work by providing technical and financial support to countries that request it and to forge effective partnerships with civil society; and to lead and coordinate the UN system’s work on gender equality, as well as promote accountability, through regular monitoring of system-wide progress.

The project will help lower rates of adolescent pregnancy, and allow girls and young women in Belize and Suriname to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights. The project will have positive impacts on adolescents and young people across both countries, but will focus on indigenous and tribal adolescent girls and young women in select regions of Belize and Suriname. The project will do this by making clinics more adolescent-friendly and culturally appropriate; increasing access to contraceptives; implementing an out-of-school comprehensive sexuality education curriculum to reach indigenous and tribal adolescents in their communities; creating and using culturally appropriate educational materials; and gathering and using data to help policymakers make informed decisions about advancing adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights, particularly for indigenous and tribal groups.
