The purpose of the Women’s Program is to advance equality for women in Canada by working to address or remove systemic barriers impeding women’s progress and advancement. The WP supports the Government of Canada’s goal of advancing gender equality in Canada. It is consistent with Government of Canada priorities related to economic prosperity, and supports Canada’s international commitments related to gender equality. This 36-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: developing and implementing a data collection system; hiring and training of staff on the applications of this data collection system; training for board of directors; strategic planning; developing HR material, policies and procedures. The additional funding will be used to undertake the development of an operational and policy analysis with a GBA+ lens, to hire external specialists to assist the organization with advancement of activities in specific areas, and to train staff.
