Increasing Staff Capacity to reduce Gender Based Violence in Northern Alberta

EF 2022-23 · 2022-12-01

Résumé
Through this 24-month project, Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women (IAAW) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with outreach to five northern rural Indigenous communities in Alberta. This will be achieved by hosting small gatherings with northern rural Indigenous communities to build relationships, identifying needs to better support survivors of GBV, sharing of tools; and developing online resources. This project will also strengthen organizational capacity by updating business and strategic plans and policies; developing standards for future policy development; and increasing the efficiency of human resource management by enhancing staff training. Improved organizational effectiveness will result in enhancements to governance; effective monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of programs and services; and increased transparency to IAAW’s Board, participants, and the community. At the end of this project, IAAW will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with outreach to northern rural Indigenous communities.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 24 mois, l’Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women (IAAW) (Institut pour la promotion des femmes autochtones) [traduction] augmentera sa capacité à prévenir et à contrer la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) visant les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones en ciblant cinq collectivités autochtones rurales du nord de l’Alberta. Pour ce faire, il organisera de petits rassemblements avec les collectivités autochtones rurales du nord de la province afin de nouer des liens, de déterminer les besoins en vue de mieux soutenir les personnes survivantes de la VFS, de mettre en commun des outils et d’élaborer des ressources qui seront offertes en ligne. Ce projet permettra également de renforcer la capacité organisationnelle par la mise à jour des plans et politiques organisationnels et stratégiques, la mise en place de normes pour l’élaboration de politiques et l’augmentation de l’efficience de la gestion des ressources humaines grâce à l’amélioration de la formation du personnel. L’amélioration de l’efficacité organisationnelle donnera lieu à une amélioration de la gouvernance et à un renforcement de l’efficacité de la surveillance, de l’évaluation et de la production de rapports sur les programmes et les services. Elle offrira aussi une transparence accrue au conseil d’administration d’IAAW, aux participants et à la collectivité. À la fin de ce projet, IAAW aura renforcé sa capacité de prévenir et de contrer la VFS visant les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones en sensibilisant les collectivités autochtones rurales du nord de la province.
