Project Description:
Alinea International is implementing two complementary Global Affairs Canada-funded initiatives in the Pacific: Pasifika WE-Guardians and EmpowerHER. Pasifika WE-Guardians operates in Fiji, Samoa and Tuvalu and focuses on strengthening climate resilience and nature-positive value chains led by women, including women of Indigenous heritage. EmpowerHER operates in Solomon Islands, Tonga and Kiribati and focuses on strengthening prevention and response to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), reinforcing the capacity of women’s rights organizations, service providers and community-based systems, while improving coordination and accountability.
