CARE Canada

Published purpose

This project is part of Canada’s Women’s Voice and Leadership Program, which supports local and regional women’s organizations and networks that are working to promote women’s rights and advance women’s empowerment and gender equality in developing countries. This is done by supporting their activities, building their institutional capacity and promoting network- and alliance-building, as women’s rights and feminist organizations are critical agents of change. The program also responds to the significant, globally recognized gap in funding and support to women’s rights organizations and movements around the world. This project is implemented by CARE Canada, in partnership with CARE Côte d'Ivoire, 27 local women's rights organizations (WRO) and 3 Ivorian networks defending the rights of women and girls in Côte d’Ivoire. In addition, innovation is integrated into all aspects of the project.
