Building Capacity for Urban Indigenous Women in Leadership

FY 2020-21 · 2020-04-01

Summary
This 36-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the National Association of Friendship Centres and its members to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. A series of activities will be undertaken to build national, provincial/territorial and local capacity, including through training and research to guide the creation of resource manuals that share best practices on leadership, board governance, Indigenous-specific gender-based analysis and partnership development, collaboration and networking and strategic planning. These activities will particularly target the Indigenous women leaders that make up 70 per cent of friendship centres directors in Canada and will maintain supports through the development of an urban Indigenous women’s leadership network. The additional funds will be used for strategic planning for their capacity building project.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois vise à répondre aux besoins de l’organisme en matière de capacité, afin de permettre à l’Association nationale des centres d’amitié et à ses membres de continuer à promouvoir le changement social et systémique menant à l’égalité entre les sexes. Une série d’activités seront entreprises pour renforcer la capacité nationale, provinciale, territoriale et locale, notamment par la formation et la recherche pour orienter la création de manuels de ressources qui mettent en commun les pratiques exemplaires en matière de leadership, de gouvernance des conseils d’administration, d’analyse comparative entre les sexes propre aux Autochtones et de développement de partenariats, de collaboration, de réseautage et de planification stratégique. Ces activités cibleront notamment les femmes leaders autochtones qui représentent 70% des directeurs des centres d’amitié au Canada et les appuieront grâce au développement d’un réseau de leadership pour les femmes autochtones en milieu urbain. Les fonds supplémentaires seront utilisés pour la planification stratégique de leur projet de renforcement des capacités.
