Engagement of applicants and recipients |
The Women’s Program (WP) conducted several surveys to collect feedback from recipients and applicants on the online application tool, the format and content of the application form and the themes of the call. A survey was also sent to organizations that started, but did not complete, an application in order to have a better understanding of the barriers to applying. After each survey, the WP took action and corrective measures were put in place, as needed. In 2014-15, the WP started to explore the possibility of developing and implementing an online external client engagement platform. The aim was to: 1) broker relationships among SWC external clients in order to facilitate partnerships, knowledge sharing and mentoring; 2) provide clients with relevant information; and 3) increase client input in program planning and design. The WP continued offering sessions for funded projects, allowing recipients of funding and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge and expertise. |
