Alberta Midwifery Association Capacity Building through Funding Diversification and Enhanced Partnerships to Advance Women’s Equality

FY 2024-25 · 2024-11-22

Summary
Through this 28-month project, Alberta Association of Midwives will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address the lack of awareness and knowledge of the Midwifery profession. The project will include improved access to midwifery care for specific underserved women (BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, living with disabilities, rural, northern, low income, newcomer and OLMC communities) through engagement with organizations that work with these populations, increase engagement with other health professions by mapping and identifying priority interprofessional relationships and building connections with leaders of education programs and associations and by developing a strategic fundraising and grant writing strategy to secure future diverse funding streams. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Alberta Association of Midwives (AAM) will design and develop two structured toolkits and undertake a professional redevelopment of its website. Through these initiatives, AAM will further advance gender equality while applying a Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) lens to ensure inclusive, equitable outcomes.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 28 mois, Alberta Association of Midwives renforcera sa capacité à faire progresser l’égalité des genres. L’organisme comblera les lacunes en matière de sensibilisation et de connaissances sur la profession de sage-femme. Le projet permettra un meilleur un accès aux soins de sage-femme pour les femmes mal desservies (noires, autochtones et de couleur, 2ELGBTQIA+, en situation de handicap, dans les régions rurales, nordiques, à faible revenu, nouvelles arrivantes et dans les communautés CLOSM), en mobilisant les organismes qui servent ces populations, en augmentant la mobilisation d’autres professions du domaine de la santé par la schématisation et l’élaboration de relations interprofessionnelles clés, en tissant des relations avec les leaders de programmes éducatifs et des associations, et en élaborant une stratégie de financement et de demande de subventions pour garantir diverses sources de financements futures. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, l’Alberta Association of Midwives (AAM) concevra deux trousses d’outils structurées et entreprendra une refonte professionnelle de son site Web. Ce faisant, l’AAM contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres tout en appliquant une perspective d’Analyse comparative entre les sexes Plus afin d’assurer des résultats inclusifs et équitables.
