Description:
Through this 59-month project, CAAN Communities, Alliances & Networks will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This will be achieved through capacity-building and engagement processes with staff, membership, and partners with the aim to implement a GBA Plus framework that centres GBV prevention as a core consideration in its governance and policy, community engagement, programming, and research. Key project activities include: conducting a needs assessment to collectively reflect on CAAN’s GBV-related work and identify recommendations and priority actions; conducting an internal review of current policies and protocols responding to GBV to identify needs, and developing and delivering a GBA Plus GBV inclusivity training and evaluation tools in response to the identified needs. The organization will also work on board governance policies to create the structural elements to support organizational GBV prevention.
With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, CAAN Communities, Alliances & Networks will revise the existing Honouring Our Spirits train-the-trainer toolkit, expand delivery by recruiting new communities/settings to deliver train-the-trainer capacity-building sessions and include Indigenous men in training activities. The project will also evaluate capacity-building impact and report findings to CAAN’s membership. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
