Description (French)
Nisto améliore la plateforme Pehta Integrity grâce au développement de 2 nouveaux modules qui renforcent la transparence et la compréhension des impacts économiques sur les communautés autochtones liés aux grands projets. Ce projet permettra aux acteurs du secteur de consulter les informations relatives à l’impact sur les communautés autochtones associées à leurs organisations et aidera les nations autochtones à mieux comprendre comment les projets génèrent des retombées en matière d’emploi et d’achats sur l’ensemble de plusieurs nations. La technologie qui en résultera renforcera la gouvernance des données autochtones, améliorera la transparence, soutiendra la réconciliation économique et favorisera la standardisation des rapports sur les impacts autochtones à travers le Canada.
