Description and results
Description
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. Specifically, this project aims to strengthen the capacity of organizations that work to defend the rights of women and girls and to promote gender equality in their communities in Burkina Faso. The project focuses on three key aspects within beneficiary organizations: institutional and management capacity, quality of service delivery to women and girls, and the effectiveness of their joint actions in support of public policies that benefit women and girls.
Expected results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) the integration of innovative approaches and the improvement of the management and sustainability of local women's rights organizations in Burkina Faso; (2) improving the performance of programming and advocacy, as well as the delivery of quality programmes and services by women's rights organizations to advance gender equality in Burkina Faso, including through innovative approaches; and (3) improving the effectiveness of national and subnational women's rights platforms, networks and alliances to change gender policies and contribute to their implementation in Burkina Faso.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of March 2023 include: (1) increased the value of investments in support of women's rights organizations and women's networks at local level to $1,269,881.22, in Burkina Faso; (2) multi-year funds, innovation funds, reactive funds and women’s rights organizations have reached 138,796 direct beneficiaries and 581,543 indirect beneficiaries. Nearly 68% of direct beneficiaries are women and girls; (3) a total of 35 women’s rights organizations promote women’s rights and gender equality. These organizations have received support for their programming and institutional strengthening; and (4) the innovative actions of women's rights organizations and their networks have influenced at least one policy.
