Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 60 mois vise à répondre aux besoins en matière de capacité de la Yellowknife Women’s Society afin de permettre à l’organisme de continuer à promouvoir des changements sociaux et systémiques en faveur de l’égalité des genres. L’organisme sera renforcé par le perfectionnement des ressources humaines, l’amélioration de la formation, du recrutement et du maintien en poste du personnel, la planification de la relève et l’examen du plan de rémunération. De plus, il évaluera les efforts de plaidoyer du passé et créera un plan de plaidoyer pour améliorer l’incidence des futurs efforts de plaidoyer pour soutenir les femmes et leurs familles à Yellowknife.
Les fonds supplémentaires serviront à réaliser une évaluation axée sur les résultats et des activités de réseautage clés visant à améliorer le programme de consommation contrôlée d’alcool, y compris la création d’un modèle de formation à jour pour le personnel chargé d’offrir le programme. La Yellowknife Women’s Society élaborera un manuel « tout en un » pour l’orientation du personnel et renforcera sa capacité organisationnelle d’accroître la production de revenus et la viabilité financière.
