Program Purpose (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois vise à modifier les pratiques de recrutement et de nomination au sein des partis politiques du Nouveau-Brunswick afin d’accroître l’accès des femmes aux postes électifs. Des politiciennes, des membres clés des partis politiques, des établissements provinciaux, des universités et des organismes communautaires participeront à un laboratoire d’innovation sociale pour examiner les obstacles qui contribuent à la sous-représentation des femmes dans la sphère politique, afin d’arriver à des solutions prometteuses. Des lignes directrices et des mécanismes durables seront créés et intégrés à des plans d’action que les partis politiques mettront en œuvre pour améliorer leurs pratiques de recrutement et de nomination. Un supplément a été octroyé au RFNB afin de faciliter la participation d’une chef de file au réseau pancanadien des chefs de file sous l’appel de proposition Financement pour l’avancement de l’égalité entre les sexes au Canada.
