This project is part of Canada’s Women’s Voice and Leadership Program, which supports local and regional women’s organisations 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 activities, building 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 globally recognized, significant gap in funding and support to women’s rights organizations and movements around the world. This project is implemented by Oxfam-Québec. It aims to strengthen the capacities of 25 local women’s rights organizations in Honduras, as well as national and sub-national women’s rights platforms, networks and alliances, particularly those representing vulnerable and marginalized women and girls.
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved management and sustainability of 25 local women’s rights organizations in Honduras, particularly those representing vulnerable and marginalized women and girls; (2) enhanced performance of the women’s rights organizations’ programming and advocacy to advance gender equality in Honduras; (3) increased effectiveness of national and sub-national women’s rights platforms, networks and alliances to affect policy, legal and social change in Honduras.
