This 31-month project will support a feminist response and recovery to address from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, and by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change in support of women’s equality. The numerous and varied partners involved in this project will actively share their knowledge by participating in the stakeholder committee, supporting communications or providing key expertise. The organization will conduct an internal assessment over the entire course of the project, and will analyze the progress and results achieved against the Gender Results Framework.
