Deadline: 8 December 2016
Status of Women Canada is seeking proposals for its programme entitled “Advance Gender Equality in Canada” with an aim to identify women leaders in various sectors, organizations, and communities, and engage them in local projects to advance gender equality.
Aims
The call aims to mobilize women leaders and equality-seeking organizations to join forces to advance equality for women in Canada. It will do this in two ways:
- Through projects implemented locally by funded organizations across Canada that address a local need aligned with the priorities of the Women’s Program.
- By developing relationships and networks between 150 key women leaders, the women’s organizations with which they are affiliated, and other stakeholders across Canada, the call will capitalize on current efforts to mobilize for gender equality, as well as past achievements (equality-seeking, intergenerational, intersectional, inter-sectoral, etc.) to increase the effectiveness of actions to advance equality for women.
