Organizational Framework

We are excited to be advancing into the next phase of the project in 2022-2026 and to continue building the capacity of both sectors to better support newcomers, immigrants and refugees through a coordinated, comprehensive approach. Working collaboratively across Canada is a strategic way to make change happen

For more information, see the Organizational Framework page

Collaboration Between Sectors

Collaboration between the immigrant-serving and anti-violence sectors is about working together
towards the common goal of ending GBV. When supporting diverse communities, it’s important that
service providers across sectors share their skills and knowledge.
