En plus de renforcer l’engagement des Canadiens pour le développement international et les principaux enjeux mondiaux, ce projet visera à améliorer le rendement des partenaires des pays en vue de promouvoir des initiatives novatrices et un développement environnemental durable plus inclusif qui feront progresser l'égalité des genres en mettant en œuvre les champs d’action pour la Politique d’aide internationale féministe du Canada.Partenaire - Groupe Inter Désir (GIDE)GIDE est une association sans but lucratif, basée en République Démocratique du Congo, militant pour la préservation de l’intégrité corporelle et la jouissance des droits des personnes intersexuées.<h3>Modalités et conditions</h3>À propos de la coopération volontaire à distanceLe programme de bénévolat à distance de Cuso International permet de travailler à distance avec nos partenaires internationaux.
