Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 41 mois, la Queer Yukon Society renforcera la capacité des organismes et des réseaux communautaires 2ELGBTQI+ à faire progresser l’égalité des personnes 2ELGBTQI+. Il s’agira de combler les lacunes de l’infrastructure organisationnelle afin de favoriser la sécurité, l’accessibilité et la viabilité à long terme de l’organisation. Le projet comprendra le développement et l’élargissement de partenariats stratégiques qui augmentent l’efficacité, la création et la mise en œuvre de plans de développement financier, de mobilisation des connaissances et de partenariat, l’examen et l’amélioration des processus internes et la création d’opportunités régulières d’apprentissage et de croissance.
Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, la Queer Yukon Society renforcera sa capacité à communiquer et à collaborer avec les organismes gouvernementaux, tout en consolidant les capacités déjà en place pour générer des revenus propres à l’organisme. Ces travaux contribueront à faire progresser davantage l’égalité des genres, à renforcer la mobilisation et le transfert des connaissances, ainsi qu’à créer des occasions courantes d’apprentissage et de perfectionnement.
