27 May 2021: Technical briefing on the second programming round in French

Le Fonds de l’Initiative Elsie pour les femmes en uniforme dans les opérations de paix organise une séance d’information technique à distance portant sur son deuxième cycle de programmation des appels à manifestation d’intérêt. Les objectifs de cette séance d’information sont d’expliquer comment faire une demande de financements au Fonds, de partager les bonnes pratiques et les enseignements tirés de projets éprouvés et de sensibiliser sur le rôle significatif de la diversité des genres dans les opérations de paix, ainsi que sur les obstacles et solutions au déploiement des femmes. Au cours de cette séance, nous présenterons le Secrétariat du Fonds, les bénéficiaires du premier cycle de programmation et recevrons le témoignage d’une femme en uniforme chargée du maintien de la paix. La séance est co-organisée par le Canada, l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) et le Francopol.
