Building the Capacity of National Women’s Rights Organizations

WP240271

$1,160,000.00

Mar 10, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026

This 13-month project will allow the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW) to support the capacity of national women’s organizations that focus on key areas such as justice, leadership, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender-based violence. This will be achieved through the further distribution of funds to selected national women’s organizations, taking into consideration those who advance equality for underrepresented women, to implement activities to reinforce their capacities. This project will allow the selected national women’s organizations to develop internal tools and resources that will enhance their capacities to expand on, enhance or improve the delivery of their respective missions and mandates. CRIAW will compile and analyze the results of these projects in order to develop a national overview of the capacity of national women’s organizations in Canada. The supplemental funding will allow CRIAW to create and coordinate a solid knowledge sharing mechanism between selected national women’s organizations (FDF recipients) and allow a strong reporting component to be put in place.
