Recommendation 3:
In line with the Guiding Principles outlined in A High-Level Framework for Joint Action and endorsed by the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Ministers responsible for the Status of Women during their 38th Conference, we are calling on the establishment of formal relationships between WAGE and provincial and territorial non-profit organizations. As key partners within the multi-sectoral approach, these organizations need to be resourced to lead the implementation of the relevant components of the Plan and distribute the funding to smaller community-based organizations and programs through granting that addresses local priorities and needs. Such umbrella organizations are best positioned to ensure the successful implementation of the Plan according to its Guiding Principles in the most impactful and cost-effective way by leveraging their existing networks, relationships, knowledge and expertise.
