Sustainable Livelihoods Canada

Published purpose

Through this 33-month project, Sustainable Livelihoods Canada (SLC) will help advance the economic security and prosperity of women and gender-diverse people working in not-for-profit (NFP) organizations within the gender-based violence sector by working to get a better understanding of the systemic barriers affecting them and those they support and by developing solutions to address them. SLC will engage with three organizations in the Ontario to undertake organizational assessments through the implementation of its asset-based framework in order to identify key challenges and improve their internal systems, policies, and processes. SLC will collaboratively analyze systemic barriers related to funding, referrals, and advocacy goals to develop a roadmap for organizational sustainability. An external developmental evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project and the project and evaluation’s results will be share with the sector, via learning events and digital dissemination tools.
