Women’s Voice and Leadership - Nigeria Voix et leadership des femmes - Nigéria 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 significant, globally recognized gap in funding and support to women’s rights organizations and movements around the world.  This project, implemented by ActionAid Nigeria, is expected to directly benefit 100 local women's rights organizations and their extended networks in six states across Nigeria. The project also aims to support the implementation of innovative ideas and approaches led by local women’s rights organizations. Ce projet fait partie du programme Voix et leadership des femmes du Canada, lequel appuie les organisations et les réseaux locaux et régionaux de femmes qui s’emploient à promouvoir les droits des femmes, le renforcement du pouvoir des femmes et l’égalité des sexes dans les pays en développement. Étant donné que les organisations de défense des droits des femmes et les organisations féministes sont des agents de changement essentiels, le but du programme est d’appuyer leurs activités, de renforcer leurs capacités institutionnelles et de favoriser la création de réseaux et d’alliances. Le programme répond également à un important manque de financement et d’appui, reconnu à l’échelle mondiale, pour les organisations et mouvements de défense des droits des femmes dans le monde.  Ce projet, mis en œuvre par ActionAid Nigeria, devrait bénéficier directement à 100 organisations de défense des droits des femmes et à leurs réseaux étendus dans six États du pays. Le projet appuie également la mise en œuvre d’idées et d’approches novatrices menée par des organisations de défense des droits des femmes à l’échelle locale.

Scaling Up Gender Equality through Women-Led Agroecology in West Africa L’égalité de genre par l’agroécologie menée par les femmes en Afrique de l’Ouest The project addresses rural women and girls’ challenges in agriculture due to unequal access to knowledge and natural and financial resources. These challenges also include opportunities for political agency, decision-making and leadership roles. The project contributes to poverty reduction and climate resilience by strengthening women's rights and helping them to implement agroecological approaches and sustainable business practices  It delivers meaningful changes in the lives of rural women, girls, and their communities.  The project works with local partners in targeted countries who organize and mentor village-level women’s groups to strengthen their power and influence. Local partners provide training in agroecology, fostering the production of nutritious crops that have adapted over generations to flourish in local conditions.  The project helps establish processing and distribution networks owned and operated by women’s collectives who sell directly to consumers in nearby urban areas.  The local implementing partners are Inades Formation Burkina Faso, Inades Formation Togo, Enda Pronat (in Senegal) and Tiniguena (in Guinée-Bissau). The project also has a regional partner, COPAGEN (Coalition pour la protection du patrimoine génétique africain/Coalition for the Protection of African Genetic Heritage). Le projet aborde les défis agricoles auxquels sont confrontés les femmes et les filles vivant dans des régions rurales en raison de l’inégalité d’accès aux connaissances et aux ressources naturelles et financières. Ces défis comprennent également des possibilités d’action politique, de prise de décision et de leadership. En renforçant les droits des femmes tout en aidant celles-ci à mettre en œuvre des approches agroécologiques et des pratiques d’exploitation durables, le projet contribue à réduire la pauvreté et à améliorer la résilience climatique au sein des communautés. Il apporte des changements significatifs dans la vie des femmes, des filles et de leurs communautés rurales.  Les intervenants du projet collaborent avec des partenaires locaux dans des pays ciblés qui organisent et encadrent au niveau des villages les groupes de femmes pour renforcer le pouvoir et l’influence de ces dernières. Les partenaires locaux offrent de la formation en agroécologie afin de favoriser la production de cultures nutritives et adaptées au fil des générations pour prospérer dans les régions locales.  Le projet aide à mettre sur pied des réseaux de transformation et de distribution détenus et exploités par des collectifs de femmes qui vendent directement aux consommateurs dans les zones urbaines voisines.  Les partenaire locaux de mise en œuvre sont les suivants : Inades Formation Burkina Faso, Inades Formation Togo, Enda Pronat (au Sénégal) et Tiniguena (en Guinée-Bissau). Le projet peut également compter sur un partenaire régional, COPAGEN (Coalition pour la protection du patrimoine génétique africain).
APEC-Canada Growing Business Partnership - Research and Training Partenariat de croissance d’entreprise APEC-Canada - Recherche et formation This initiative seeks to reduce poverty in developing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies by encouraging micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to expand into global and regional markets. The project consists of two main components: MSME Support and Research and Training.  The Research and Training component implemented by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada provides training, research and mentoring to MSMEs in developing APEC economies of Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Peru. For example, Canada’s support funded the research studies, surveys, conferences, training and mentoring focused on business and entrepreneurship skills, access to markets for products and services, and technological innovation.  The MSME Support component of the project is a sub-fund managed by the APEC Secretariat that supports small-scale projects helping MSMEs in developing APEC economies to innovate, grow, and gain better access to global and regional markets.  The two components have a combined contribution amount of $4.79 million. Cette initiative vise à réduire la pauvreté dans les économies en développement de la Coopération économique Asie-Pacifique (APEC) en encourageant les micro, petites et moyennes entreprises (MPME) à élargir leurs activités sur les marchés mondiaux et régionaux. Le projet comporte deux principaux volets : Soutien aux MPME et Recherche et formation.  Le volet Recherche et formation, mis en œuvre par la Fondation Asie Pacifique du Canada, propose des activités de formation, de recherche et de mentorat aux MPME des économies en développement de pays membres de l’APEC, à savoir l’Indonésie, le Vietnam, les Philippines et le Pérou. Par exemple, l’appui du Canada sert à financer des études, des enquêtes, des conférences ainsi que des activités de formation et de mentorat axées sur les compétences en gestion et en entrepreneuriat, l’accès aux marchés pour les produits et les services ainsi que l’innovation technologique.  Le volet Soutien aux MPME du projet est un sous-fonds géré par le Secrétariat de l’APEC qui appuie des projets à petite échelle qui aident les MPME des économies en développement de pays membres de l’APEC à innover, à croître et à obtenir un meilleur accès aux marchés mondiaux et régionaux.  La contribution combinée aux deux volets s’élève à 4,79 millions de dollars.
