Addressing the Root Causes of Irregular Migration Through Economic Empowerment in Honduras

The Call aims to support the efforts of organizations registered in Canada and Indigenous organizations in Canada to:

• address the root causes of irregular migration by creating resilient, sustainable and inclusive economic opportunities for women and youth, particularly in marginalized and vulnerable communities in Honduras
• advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in support of resilient, sustainable and inclusive economic growth
• support the creation of stable and enabling environments for women and youth to access decent jobs, create enterprises (MSMEs), access to resources (financing, land, technologies, certifications), increase productivity, income, and representation in governing bodies
• provide the necessary skills, education and tools to women and youth to be competitive in local markets and accessing foreign markets

As organizations can only submit one submission to this call, interested applicants are asked to contact the Office of Research indicating their interest in this program no later than March 20, 2024.  For more information, please contact Jill Sherman at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca.
