Description:
Through this 32-month systemic change project, the Réseau des Chercheurs Africaines (RECAF) will help advance women's economic security and prosperity and representation in leadership and decision-making roles through systemic change. The project will address the need to support Black Francophone partner organizations in Ontario in integrating a gender lens in their operations and functioning. Specifically, the project will address the systemic barriers experienced by Francophone women in the community-based sector by conducting a series of systemic change learning circles with partner organizations, guiding them through a gender-based organizational audit, supporting them in integrating GBA+ strategies into their internal operations, and establishing a long-term follow-up plan to ensure the sustainability of the changes initiated. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
