| Description du stage : |
CAUSE is involved in a number of projects that are addressing gender
inequality in Sierra Leone, in particular in the area of education. CAUSE is
currently implementing projects in Koinadugu, funded by CIDA and UNICEF that
are addressing the imbalances that exist in the education system and seeking to
improve the situation for girls in the Northern part of the country. In
addition to these implementing activities, CAUSE is also well represented in a
number of committees, boards, and task forces that are tackling these issues
from the policy level. CAUSE's continued presence in the national discussion of
policy is critical to the implementation of appropriate and effective
programming. The contribution of NGOs such as CAUSE to SLeGEN (Sierra Leone
Girls Education Network) is expected to contribute to an increasingly positive
situation for girls in the country. In Canada The intern will fully participate in the CAUSE orientation sessions, learning about CAUSE policies and projects, studying culture shock and possible strategies to deal with it, and acquiring many other skills necessary for a successful internship. The intern will also participate in the final debriefing, reviewing their experiences on the field with CAUSE and each other. The intern will complete an evaluation of their internship, prepare for post-internship pursuits, and engage in public engagement activities. These outreach activities will raise public awareness of intern experiences, CAUSE and CIDA programs, and Canada's role in international development.
