Thank you.
You're quite correct that in July the minister did announce that activities that pertain to advocacy would be eligible for funding under the women's program. The reason for that, as the government presented it, was a strong belief that dialogue between decision-makers and the community organizations is very positive in improving and informing decision-making. That was the rationale behind it.
What this means concretely for the women's funding program is that if there are activities that are directly related to advocacy, they can now be part of the project, and they can be funded and supported by the women's program. We've seen several projects that now include advocacy-related activities as part of the overall proposal.
