Agreement Value:

$480,000.00

Agreement Date:

Dec 1, 2022 - Nov 30, 2024

Description:

Through this 24-month project, Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women (IAAW) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with outreach to five northern rural Indigenous communities in Alberta. This will be achieved by hosting small gatherings with northern rural Indigenous communities to build relationships, identifying needs to better support survivors of GBV, sharing of tools; and developing online resources. This project will also strengthen organizational capacity by updating business and strategic plans and policies; developing standards for future policy development; and increasing the efficiency of human resource management by enhancing staff training. Improved organizational effectiveness will result in enhancements to governance; effective monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of programs and services; and increased transparency to IAAW’s Board, participants, and the community. At the end of this project, IAAW will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with outreach to northern rural Indigenous communities.
