Summary
This project is part of Canada’s Women’s Voice and Leadership Program, which supports local and regional women’s organizations and networks that are working to promote women’s rights, and advance women’s empowerment and gender equality in developing countries.

Description (French)
Ce projet fait partie du programme Voix et leadership des femmes du Canada, qui appuie les organisations et les réseaux locaux et régionaux de femmes œuvrant à promouvoir le droit des femmes, le renforcement du pouvoir des femmes, et l’égalité des genres dans le pays en développement. Étant donné que les organisations de défense des droits des femmes et les organisations féministes sont des agents de changement essentiels, le but est d’appuyer leurs activités, renforcer leurs capacités institutionnelles, et favoriser la création de réseaux et d’alliances. Le programme répond à un important manque de financement et d’appui, reconnu à l’échelle mondiale, pour les organisations et mouvements de défense des droits de femmes à travers le monde. Ce projet, mis en œuvre par l'intermédiaire de la Nordic International Support Foundation, fournit un financement pluriannuel à environ 10 à 15 organisations intranationales de défense des droits des femmes dans tout le Myanmar, y compris dans des zones de conflit. Les autres activités comprennent : (1) soutien rapide et réactif aux organisations pour des projets de courte durée et d’une portée limitée pour répondre de manière adéquate et stratégique à certains événements imprévus; (2) renforcement des capacités des organisations; (3) appui au réseautage et à la création d'alliances entre les organisations.
Expected Results
The expected results for the project include: (1) improved management and sustainability of local women's rights organizations (WROs) in Myanmar; (2) enhanced delivery of quality services and advocacy by local WROs to advance gender equality; and (3) enhanced collaboration and collective action to advance gender equality and the rights of women and girls by local WROs.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés pour ce projet comprennent : (1) l’amélioration de la gestion et viabilité des organisations de défense des droits des femmes au Myanmar; (2) prestation améliorée de services de qualité et de représentation par les organisations locales de droits des femmes afin de renforcer l’égalité entre les sexes; (3) amélioration de la collaboration et des gestes collectifs posés par les organisations de défense des droits des femmes locales en vue d’accomplir des progrès en ce qui a trait à l’égalité entre les sexes et les droits des femmes et des filles.
