Résumé
P012820001: The Palestinian Fund for Reconstruction and Development (PFRD) has been operational in West Bank and Gaza since 2021.

Canada’s proposed contribution of CAD $30M over three years to PFRD, specifically on Pillars I and III, will strengthen sustainable recovery, economic reform, and social resilience through the provision of indirect financial and technical support to the PA. In addition, PFRD has cross-cutting themes of gender, citizen engagement, climate resilience and digital innovation which are central to the operations of PFRD and are implemented throughout its portfolio. This contribution will alleviate the heavy burden on the PA, facing unprecedented levels of fiscal instability, and risking their ability to sustain essential public services to the Palestinian people, implement their reform agenda and plan for long-term recovery and reconstruction and governance of Gaza. | P012820003: This project aims to increase women’s participation and leadership in political institutions and decision-making across political and civic spaces in Lebanon, embracing diversity. Project activities include: (1) providing training, coaching, and networking support to women leaders in parliament, municipal councils, syndicates, and universities. It does so to encourage women to be prominent, effective, and independent leaders; (2) establishing women leaders’ groups at the municipal level and building their capacities to develop local action plans, carry out initiatives, voice women’s priorities, and demand and influence local decision-makers; (3) providing technical support to feminist coalitions and the national women’s rights machinery to enhance their capacity to build alliances and advocate for gender-responsive reforms. It focuses on issues such as personal status, sexual and gender-based violence, nationality reform, and quotas in elected bodies; (4) supporting evidence-based advocacy to promote gender equality and women's political participation. This includes challenging gender norms and stereotypes, promoting women in leadership roles, and encouraging men’s engagement in care and home duties; and (5) implementing initiatives to prevent and respond to violence against women in politics such as cyber-bullying

Description (French)
P012820001: Le Fonds palestinien pour la reconstruction et le développement (PFRD) est opérationnel en Cisjordanie et à Gaza depuis 2021. Il s'agit également d'un outil essentiel pour soutenir l'Autorité palestinienne (AP) et l'économie palestinienne, en particulier après la guerre à Gaza. Le Canada propose de verser 30 millions de dollars canadiens sur 3 ans au PFRD, plus précisément au pilier III. Cette contribution vise à renforcer la reprise durable, la réforme économique et la résilience sociale en fournissant un soutien financier et technique indirect à l'AP. En outre, le PFRD a des thèmes transversaux tels que l'égalité des sexes, la participation citoyenne, la résilience climatique et l'innovation numérique, qui sont au cœur de ses activités et sont mis en œuvre dans l'ensemble de son portefeuille. Cette contribution vise à alléger le lourd fardeau qui pèse sur l'Autorité palestinienne, confrontée à une instabilité budgétaire sans précédent et risquant de compromettre sa capacité à maintenir les services publics essentiels à la population palestinienne, à mettre en œuvre son programme de réformes et à planifier la reprise et la reconstruction à long terme ainsi que la gouvernance de Gaza.
Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) développer les compétences en gestion d'entreprise et en littératie financière, notamment en matière d'organisation, de négociation et de tenue de registres; 2) renforcer les processus opérationnels, notamment en matière de marketing, d'enregistrement juridique et commercial, et de certification des produits; 3) faire le mentorat et accompagner les bénéficiaires de ce projet, notamment les chômeurs (travailleurs qualifiés et non qualifiés), les femmes et les personnes handicapées. | P012820002: A Venir | P012820003: Ce projet vise à accroître la participation et le leadership des femmes dans les institutions politiques et la prise de décision dans les espaces politiques et civiques au Liban, en tenant compte de la diversité. Les activités de ce projet comprennent: 1) la formation, l'accompagnement et le soutien à la mise en réseau des femmes leaders au parlement, dans les conseils municipaux, les syndicats et les universités. Il s'agit d'encourager les femmes à devenir des dirigeantes éminentes, efficaces et indépendantes; 2) la création de groupes de dirigeantes au niveau municipal et le renforcement de leurs capacités à élaborer des plans d'action locaux, à mettre en œuvre des initiatives, à exprimer les priorités des femmes, à exiger et à influencer les décideurs locaux; 3) la fourniture d'un soutien technique aux coalitions féministes et au mécanisme national de défense des droits des femmes afin d'améliorer leur capacité à nouer des alliances et à plaider en faveur de réformes tenant compte de l'égalité des sexes. L'accent est mis sur des questions telles que le statut personnel, la violence sexuelle et sexiste, la réforme de la nationalité et les quotas dans les organes élus; 4) soutenir les actions de sensibilisation fondées sur des données probantes afin de promouvoir l'égalité des sexes et la participation des femmes à la vie politique. Il s'agit notamment de remettre en question les normes et les stéréotypes liés au genre, de promouvoir les femmes dans des rôles de direction et d'encourager l'engagement des hommes dans les soins et les tâches domestiques; 5) mettre en œuvre des initiatives visant à prévenir et à répondre à la violence contre les femmes en politique, comme le cyber-harcèlement.
Expected Results
P012820001: The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased private capital mobilization; (2) increased business linkages with international markets; (3) enhanced financial sector infrastructure and accessibility; (4) increased employment in private sector; and (5) enhanced business environment for entrepreneurs and businesses through financial sector reform. | P012820003: The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased participation of 1,000 women who assume leadership positions and promote gender justice in political and civic spaces; (2) enhanced advancement of key gender reforms and accountability measures on women’s rights and feminist leadership by feminist coalitions and national women rights machinery; and (3) increased commitment of men and women to challenge barriers to women’s leadership and political participation, focusing on time poverty and gender bias. This would directly benefit 100 women leaders and engage 500 men in care work while promoting women’s leadership.
