Description (French)
Ce projet de 48 mois vise à répondre aux besoins en matière de capacité organisationnelle pour continuer à promouvoir le changement social et systémique favorisant l’égalité entre les sexes. La capacité organisationnelle sera renforcée grâce aux activités suivantes : élaborer et mettre en œuvre un plan stratégique de renforcement des capacités, élaborer et mettre en œuvre un plan de partenariat stratégique, et mettre en œuvre une stratégie de ressources humaines pour la formation et le maintien en poste des membres du conseil d’administration, des experts-conseils, des membres du personnel et des bénévoles. L’organisme a tiré parti de l’augmentation des possibilités et de la demande, en élargissant ses activités d’extension des services et en complétant ses autres activités de projet pour profiter de cette mobilisation accrue grâce aux fonds supplémentaires en 2020. Le financement supplémentaire et la prolongation du projet serviront à élaborer et à mettre en œuvre un plan de relève. Le plan comprendra le partage des connaissances de base, y compris l’établissement des postes clés et les candidates qui peuvent assumer les postes de direction à la fondation. De plus, les fonds faciliteront l’accroissement de la capacité organisationnelle à effectuer des analyses des politiques, des programmes et des services, et à cerner et à éliminer les obstacles à la prestation de ces services sur une plateforme optimale et évolutive
