Engagement of applicants and recipients:

SWC began implementation of its knowledge management and dissemination strategy to multiply the impact of our investments by creating communities of practice to share knowledge. In 2013-14, the Women’s Program began offering sessions to allow funded recipients and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge and expertise. Several information sessions were provided for calls for proposals launched in 2013–2014 to help potential applicants better understand how to articulate their results, outcomes, budgets, etc. The participation rate was high and quality applications were received.

SWC developed and launched an online automated application for recipients and assessment tool for reviewers. The Program conducted a survey with applicants to receive their feedback on the new online system. Overall, applicants found the system to be user friendly, but suggested some areas for improvement, which have since been implemented.
