Mar 11, 2025 - Mar 31, 2027

Through this 25-month project, Accompagnement des femmes immigrantes de l’Outaouais (AFIO) will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. The project will address systemic barriers impacting immigrant women to improve their financial literacy levels. AFIO intends to develop a collective action plan, taking into consideration the main barriers and best practices on financial literacy for immigrant women, and to actively promote this plan among key players in the financial literacy ecosystem. The main activity for this project is to create a financial support network that is tailored to immigrant women’s needs. The project will also include an awareness and advocacy component within the financial support network to deconstruct myths and biases around immigrant women’s financial literacy and to encourage the adoption of recommendations from the collective action plan. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.
