Apr 15, 2019 - Mar 31, 2024

This 60-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through activities such as strategic and succession planning; partnership development, collaboration and networking; development of an advocacy strategy; implementation of result-based management; organizational financial health plan. The organization will develop a national approach to: anti-violence advocacy; influencing social policy; evaluating and sharing members’ best and promising practices. Activities to ensure sustainability will focus on building partnerships with donors and organizations with whom they can undertake shared projects. Due to the current environment and the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations have been struggling with the implementation of their planned activities and have expressed difficulty addressing emerging needs. The first supplemental funding will help them build the additional capacity that is currently needed to equip themselves and help their communities address the many issues they are facing. This funding will be used to improve the organization’s capacity to digitalize its activities and respond to the urgent needs of survivors of sexual violence. The second supplemental funding will be used to identify gaps in the governance and human resources policies and to make sure it is updated to reflect their intersectional commitments, including trans-inclusion, reconciliation, and anti-racism. Additionally, the funding will be used to develop a government relations strategy and a communications and marketing strategy.
