Résumé
The Project I3 – WG2S will advance indigenous gender equality for women and girls across social and economic conditions by supporting the creation of a succession of transformative innovation and catalyzing large scale system changes to improve lives in Indigenous communities across Canada, allowing Indigenous innovators from the I3-WG2S project to achieve their fullest potential and share in Canada’s prosperity. Indigenous gender equality refers to the United Nations Briefing Note No. 1 on Gender and Indigenous Peoples that recognizes that there are even further gender influenced gaps for Indigenous peoples. The project will fund innovative projects to assist Indigenous women in Canada to overcome the barriers they are facing in their communities. The I3-WG2S will respond to the technical and financial needs, as well as other barriers faced by Indigenous women and girls, including 2SLGBTTQQIA people, and in particular innovators and entrepreneurs, through three tiers of support/components. The Capacity Building Component and the Seed Component, using WAGE’s contribution of up to $8,744,582 in matched funding toward 50% of the total project cost; and the Transition-to-Scale Component, using Grand Challenges Canada’s matched funding of up to $8,744,582 toward the total project cost. Grand Challenges Canada will ensure that WAGE’s contribution of up to $8,744,582 to the Project will focus specifically on the advancement of Indigenous gender equality for women and girls across social and economic conditions. Grand Challenges Canada may use its contribution of up to $8,744,582 toward the cost of supporting the advancement of gender equality for women and girls, including 2SLGBTTQQIA people throughout its cycle, to identify, propose, assess and identify the solutions to the most pressing gaps and challenges, and to bring the opportunity to solve those grand challenges in their communities.

Description (French)
Le projet I3-WG2S fera progresser l’égalité des genres pour les femmes et les filles autochtones dans toutes les conditions sociales et économiques en soutenant la création d’une succession d’innovations transformatrices et en catalysant des changements systémiques à grande échelle pour améliorer la vie au sein des communautés autochtones du Canada. Cela permettra aux personnes innovatrices autochtones du projet de réaliser leur plein potentiel et de partager la prospérité du Canada. L’égalité des genres chez les Autochtones fait référence à la fiche d’information no 1 des Nations Unies sur les genres et les peuples autochtones, qui reconnaît qu’il existe des écarts encore plus marqués entre les genres au sein des peuples autochtones. Le projet financera des projets novateurs pour aider les femmes autochtones du Canada à surmonter les obstacles auxquels elles sont confrontées dans leur communauté. Le projet I3-WG2S répondra aux besoins techniques et financiers, ainsi qu’aux autres obstacles rencontrés par les femmes et les filles autochtones, y compris les personnes 2SLGBTTQQIA, et en particulier les innovatrices et les entrepreneuses, au moyen de trois niveaux de soutien/volets : le volet du renforcement des capacités et le fonds de démarrage, constitué d’une contribution de FEGC pouvant atteindre jusqu'a 8 744 582 $ en financement de contrepartie pour 50 % du coût total du projet, et le volet de transition à l’échelle, avec un financement de contrepartie de Grands Défis Canada jusqu'a 8 744 582 $ pour le coût total du projet. Grands Défis Canada veillera à ce que la contribution de FEGC au projet, pouvant atteindre jusqu'a 8 744 582 $, serve expressément à la promotion de l’égalité des genres chez les femmes et les filles autochtones, quelles que soient leurs conditions sociales et économiques. Grands Défis Canada peut utiliser sa contribution de jusqu'à 8 744 582 $ pour soutenir l’avancement de l’égalité des genres chez les femmes et les filles, y compris les personnes 2SLGBTTQQIA tout au long de son cycle, afin d’identifier, de proposer, d’évaluer et d’établir des solutions aux lacunes et aux défis les plus pressants de même que d’apporter la possibilité de résoudre ces grands défis dans leurs communautés.
