Published purpose

Through this 55-month project, Indigenous Women’s Association of Maliseet and Mi’Kmaq Territories Inc. (IWAMMT) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls or 2SLGBTQIA+ people, with a focus on strengthening the organization’s capacity to deliver programming. This will be achieved by reinforcing IWAMMT’s capacity regarding human resource management, financial management, information sharing and membership engagement and communications. By the end of the project, IWAMMT will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ living in the Wabanaki Territories across New Brunswick with an emphasis on building the organization’s ability to deliver GBV programming. With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Indigenous Women’s Association of the Maliseet and Mi’kmaq Territories Inc. will implement project management approaches and Indigenous Theory of Change models by training and coaching staff, updating policies, and planning for long term sustainability. They will also train all staff in GBA Plus, collective impact, and community engagement; establish ongoing membership input into programs and services; build a partnership network; and develop templates for data collection and monitoring. Through this work, they will further advance gender equality.
