Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 28 mois, Call Auntie renforcera sa capacité à faire progresser l’égalité des genres. Le projet répondra au besoin de soutenir la santé sexuelle et reproductive des femmes autochtones en milieu urbain dans la région du Grand Toronto; de mieux répondre aux divers besoins du personnel autochtone et de la clientèle (autochtone, à faible revenu) de Call Auntie et mieux les refléter; et de mettre en place une main-d’œuvre rémunérée équitablement qui sera plus susceptible de rester en poste et d’offrir un soutien à long terme à la clientèle. Le projet comprendra A) le renforcement des connaissances et des compétences culturelles de l’équipe pour servir une plus grande diversité de personnes; B) l’amélioration du bien-être et de l’équité du personnel pour une plus grande stabilité de la main-d’œuvre; C) le renforcement de la capacité collective pour les soins tenant compte des traumatismes dirigés par les Autochtones; et D) l’amélioration de la prise de décisions organisationnelles (gouvernance/politiques). Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de l’année 2026, Call Auntie A) renforcera la capacité du personnel et les systèmes de connaissances organisationnelles; B) améliorera la gestion financière et l’infrastructure administrative; C) bâtira une gouvernance solide, la conformité aux lois et la viabilité organisationnelle; D) élaborera des systèmes de ressources humaines solides, concevra des avantages sociaux et assurera la viabilité de la main-d’œuvre.
