CA-3-S064524PRG 2026-05-07T06:32:57 This volunteer sending program is designed to send 636 volunteers to 13 developing countries. It aims to: (1) enable partners to provide women and men with the capacity to exercise their economic rights and to reduce their vulnerability to change; (2) enable civil society to establish effective dialogues with the government to identify policies and strategies that benefit vulnerable populations regarding the issues linked to essential health, education and drinking water services; (3) enable partners to strengthen women’s leadership and increase their capacity to influence, to identify strategies that eliminate all forms of violence and discrimination towards them, to ensure the defence and the promotion of their rights, and to involve men in this regard; and (4) enable partners to better defend youth issues in local policies, to promote access to essential education and health services for youth, and make youth stakeholders in society. As of the final year of the program, in April 2014, programming will extend to Colombia and Mali in the form of a regional approach. An amount of $80,622 has been added to the total amount for each of the Volunteer Cooperation Agency programs for CIDA-led program evaluations.
