Résumé
This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Mid-Island Métis Nation Association will achieve this by convening a committee of women with lived experience of financial hardship to identify strategies that support economic interdependence amongst Indigenous, racialized and newcomer communities, engaging stakeholders to inform the areas of greatest need and incorporate collective models, and creating a framework for an anti-poverty strategy.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and by supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power.
Key partners in the project, Nanaimo Aboriginal Centre, Society for Equity Inclusion and Advocacy, Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society, and Nanaimo Foodshare Society will be instrumental throughout the project and will support implementing at least three framework initiatives to lift women and children out of poverty.

Description (French)
Grâce à des changements systémiques, ce projet de 29 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID‑19. Pour réaliser le projet, la Mid-Island Métis Nation Association mettra sur pied un comité de femmes ayant vécu des difficultés financières pour définir des stratégies favorisant l’interdépendance économique entre les collectivités autochtones, racisées et de nouvelles arrivantes, mobilisera des parties prenantes pour orienter les secteurs où les besoins sont les plus grands et intégrer des modèles collectifs, et établira le cadre d’une stratégie de lutte contre la pauvreté.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en favorisant un partage plus efficace et équitable des ressources, en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, et en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel.
Les partenaires clés du projet, soit le Nanaimo Aboriginal Centre, la Society for Equity Inclusion and Advocacy, la Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society et la Nanaimo Foodshare Society, joueront un rôle de premier plan tout au long du projet et appuieront la mise en œuvre d’au moins trois initiatives-cadres visant à sortir les femmes et les enfants de la pauvreté.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
