Description:
This 48-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the National Association of Friendship Centres and its members to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. A series of activities will be undertaken to build national, provincial/territorial and local capacity, including through training and research to guide the creation of resource manuals that share best practices on leadership, board governance, Indigenous-specific gender-based analysis and partnership development, collaboration and networking and strategic planning. These activities will particularly target the Indigenous women leaders that make up 70 per cent of friendship centres directors in Canada and will maintain supports through the development of an Urban Indigenous women’s leadership network.
The supplemental funding will be used for strategic planning with NAFC and their Provincial Territorial Associations (PTAs).
