Description and results
Description
This project aims to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls by supporting local organizations that advance women’s rights in Haiti. It is building the capacity of local women’s rights organizations to provide services to their constituents; help women to know and claim their rights; advocate for gender equality; and empower women and girls. The project reflects growing international evidence of the critical role that local women’s rights and feminist organizations play in advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. Project activities include the provision of: (1) multi-year funding to selected local women’s rights organizations; (2) targeted capacity building to organizations selected for multi-year funding; (3) support to strengthen networks and alliances between women’s rights organizations; and (4) small, short-term funding to local women’s rights organizations and networks to pilot innovative ideas and approaches, and to respond quickly to unforeseen events and opportunities. This project aims to enable women's organizations in Haiti to improve the management of their programs, increase the quality of services offered and work to restore strong support networks that is expected to directly benefit more than 3,000 women and girls, and indirectly to more than 130,000 women and girls.
Expected results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved management, programming and sustainability of local women’s rights organizations in Haiti, particularly those representing vulnerable and marginalized women and girls; (2) enhanced delivery of services and advocacy by women’s rights organizations to advance gender equality in Haiti; and (3) increased effectiveness of national and sub-national women’s rights platforms, networks and alliances to affect gender-sensitive policy change and policy implementation in Haiti.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of March 2022 include: (1) pre-selection of 13 organizations as project partners; (2) improved financial and organizational sustainability of seven partner organizations; (3) training session, workshops and advocacy activities have enabled 41,694 people (36,353 women) to understand better gender equality, women’s rights and gender-based violence since the implementation of the project; (4) distribution of 1000 hygiene kits consisting of a tarp, menstrual pads, toilet paper, mosquito repellent, laundry soap and a five-gallon bucket. These actions contribute to providing humanitarian assistance to the victims of the partner organizations of the August 2021 earthquake project; and (5) support to more than 30 women’s rights organizations through the Rapid and Reactive Fund, enabling them to carry out activities for the promotion of women’s and girls’ rights in Haiti.
