Agreement Value:

$572,735.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 16, 2024 - Mar 31, 2027

Description:

Through this 31-month project, Edmonton Centre for Race and Culture will help advance representation in leadership and decision-making roles for Black Women, Indigenous Women, Racialized Women, and Women with Disabilities through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers within policies and practices across institutions (private or public organizations, entities, or structures) by creating networks and collaborations that will transform Human Resource (HR) policies and practices. This will be achieved by convening women, decision makers, and HR professionals in urban and rural areas of Alberta for Peacemaking Circles and engagement activities, including Systems Mapping workshops, to create a collective understanding of the systemic challenges and opportunities. This collaboration and co-creation will work to inform the strategic direction and articulate a vision of systems redesign. By utilizing scenario planning, developing and implementing a guided approach, and creating an innovation pipeline, Edmonton Centre for Race and Culture will create and test solutions that will advance diversity, inclusion, and equity through the systemic transformation of human resource policies and practices. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
