Description (French)
Ce projet vise à accroître l’efficacité des programmes de santé mondiale, y compris les programmes relatifs à la santé et aux droits sexuels et reproductifs (SDSR). Le Partenariat canadien pour la santé des femmes et des enfants (CanSFE) met en œuvre ce projet. Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) organiser des conférences, des ateliers, des webinaires et d’autres activités d’échange de connaissances pour les organisations œuvrant dans le domaine de la santé mondiale; 2) faciliter des groupes de travail dirigés par les membres et d’autres forums de collaboration et de coordination entre partenaires canadiens et internationaux; 3) élaborer et mettre à jour des guides techniques, des outils pratiques et des ressources portant sur la santé mondiale et l’égalité des genres; 4) offrir des formations et d’autres occasions d’apprentissage aux organisations et aux praticiennes et praticiens œuvrant dans le domaine de la santé mondiale; 5) sensibiliser les Canadiennes et les Canadiens aux enjeux de santé mondiale au moyen d’activités de communication, de mobilisation du public et d’échange de connaissances. Le projet devrait bénéficier à plus de 110 organisations canadiennes membres de CanSFE œuvrant dans les domaines de la santé mondiale, du développement, de l’action humanitaire, de la recherche et de l’égalité des genres.
