Published purpose

This 47-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: development of a risk management framework and board training; identifying and implementing needed changes and revisions to internal policies, systems, and processes necessary for long term stability and sustainability, implementation of the strategic plan; identification of contractual and financial risk while also building financial capacity and the building of risk management/governance capacity among its provincial and territorial member associations (PTMAs). The improved stability and capacity will benefit this national indigenous organization and its thirteen PTMAs while also supporting the well-being and prosperity of Indigenous women, girls, two-Spirit, and gender diverse people.
