Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de 37 mois, la Prince George and District Elizabeth Fry Society renforcera ses capacités organisationnelles pour continuer à promouvoir des changements sociaux et systémiques vers l’atteinte de l’égalité des genres. La Elizabeth Fry Society atteindra cet objectif en menant une analyse de la santé financière de l’organisme et en mettant en place une stratégie de collecte de fonds et un plan de durabilité. L’organisme élaborera également un plan pour la diversité, l’équité et l’inclusion et un plan stratégique, officialisera une stratégie de défense des droits et créera une vaste bibliothèque de manuels qui comprendra des mises à jour de ses manuels de politiques et de procédures. Cela renforcera les fondements de l’organisme. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, la Prince George and District Elizabeth Fry Society mettra en œuvre les recommandations découlant d’un audit des systèmes, élaborera des manuels, des organigrammes et des modèles propres à chaque fonction, offrira deux formations sur la diversité, l’équité et l’inclusion au sein de l’organisme, mettra en œuvre les recommandations issues d’un sondage externe sur la diversité, l’équité et l’inclusion et mettra à jour ses politiques et procédures; mettra en œuvre les recommandations relatives à la sécurité psychologique, concevra un dépliant et des modèles pour le plan stratégique, et élaborera des guides d’intégration et de départ du personnel. Ces travaux contribueront à faire progresser davantage l’égalité des genres.
