Through this 24-month project, the Alliance des femmes de la francophonie canadienne (AFFC) will help advance access to leadership and decision-making roles for Francophone and Acadian women in minority communities across the country through systemic change. In collaboration with partner organizations, the AFFC will address systemic and structural barriers these women face. The organization will draw on research and best practices found in the literature to develop and provide strategic tools and workshops that support community organizations in implementing organizational changes to increase women’s representation in decision-making roles. The AFFC will equip itself with an action plan and a training plan focused on strengthening organizational capacity on inclusive diversity management, gender equality, and creating sexism-free environments. An external evaluation will measure the impact of this systemic change project.
