Ce projet de 58 mois portera sur les besoins en matière de capacité organisationnelle afin de permettre à la South Asian Women’s Rights Organization Inc. (anciennement appelée South Asian Women's Rights Organization Inc) de devenir un organisme communautaire émergent fort dédié aux femmes. La capacité organisationnelle sera renforcée grâce à une évaluation organisationnelle approfondie, à une planification stratégique et au renforcement de la capacité du conseil d’administration d’élaborer des stratégies en matière de collecte de fonds, d’administration et d’initiatives.
