With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Sanare Centre will complete Advanced participant Training, Peer Mentorship and a Training Hub; implement a Community campaign called “Men in GBV Action”; Build in the Employee Recruitment and Retention Pilot and; Have an external evaluator measure and assess the impact of the promising practice.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 39 mois, Centre Sanare élaborera et mettra en place un programme de recrutement et de maintien en poste des membres du personnel masculins et un réseau et un groupe de soutien pour les hommes afin de renforcer le secteur de la VFS. Il s’attaquera au manque d’hommes qui occupent un emploi dans le secteur de la VFS en Alberta et qui connaissent bien le sujet, ainsi qu’aux obstacles auxquels font face les hommes lorsqu’ils dirigent des activités liées à l’égalité des genres, y compris le manque de capacité, les obstacles institutionnels, le manque d’intérêt et l’isolement social. Pour ce faire, le projet comprendra l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de deux programmes : un programme de recrutement et de maintien en poste de membres du personnel masculins et un réseau et groupe de soutien d’hommes. Le Centre Sanare mettra également sur pied un plan de durabilité pour assurer le maintien des deux programmes. Une ou un spécialiste externe de l’évaluation mesurera et analysera l’incidence des pratiques prometteuses. Le Centre Sanare communiquera les constatations dans divers formats appropriés pour divers publics afin de transmettre des renseignements sur la pratique prometteuse avec d’autres personnes afin qu’elles puissent la reproduire ou la développer. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, le Sanare Centre terminera la formation avancée des personnes participantes, le mentorat par les pairs et un centre de formation, mettra en place une campagne communautaire intitulée Hommes en action contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (Men in GBV Action), s’appuiera sur le projet pilote de recrutement et de rétention des membres du personnel et mobilisera une personne évaluatrice externe qui sera en mesure d’évaluer les répercussions de cette pratique prometteuse. Ce faisant, l’organisme contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.
Expected Results
Promising practices are incorporated by the GBV sector into new or enhanced supports for target populations.
Expected Results (French)
Intégration, par le secteur, des pratiques prometteuses aux mesures de soutien nouvelles ou améliorées qu’il offre aux populations ciblées.

Program Purpose
The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (le Programme) vise à renforcer la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) et, en particulier, à remédier au manque de soutien pour deux catégories de survivantes et survivants, soit : 1) les femmes autochtones et leurs communautés; et 2) les populations sous-desservies au Canada (notamment les femmes handicapées, les femmes réfugiées, immigrantes ou en situation irrégulière, les personnes allosexuelles et les femmes des minorités ethnoculturelles). Il s’agit d’un programme de subventions et contributions pour les organismes canadiens qui mènent des projets visant à améliorer les mesures d’aide offertes et à créer des solutions durables et complètes à l’échelle nationale, régionale et locale.
