Description (French)
Le projet de Partenariat d’assistance technique – gouvernement du Canada appuie le ministère de la Justice du Canada à effectuer le déploiement de ses avocats et d'experts juridiques afin de renforcer les capacités des entités nationales gouvernementales, responsables des systèmes juridiques et de la législation, dans les pays admissibles à l’aide publique au développement (APD). Ce projet vise aussi à améliorer le bien-être des populations les plus pauvres, les plus marginalisées et les plus vulnérables, en s’alignant à la Politique d'aide internationale féministe (PAIF) du Canada tout en contribuant à la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) soutenir les entités gouvernementales nationales des pays partenaires à répondre aux besoins différenciés des femmes et des hommes par le biais de lois et de règlements sensibles au genre; 2) améliorer l'accès à la justice pour les femmes et les filles; 3) renforcer les systèmes juridiques et promouvoir des réformes qui éliminent toutes les formes de discrimination; 4) soutenir la protection des droits fondamentaux des femmes; 5) sensibiliser les Canadiens aux enjeux de développement international, y compris les ODD et la PAIF du Canada, à travers des activités de mobilisation du public; 5) organiser des visites techniques au Canada. Sur 5 ans, le projet prévoit appuyer environ 9 à 10 initiatives d’assistance technique.
