General overview
Stage of development: Late stage
Type of instrument: Social Impact Incentives (SIINC) / Social Impact Guarantee
Delivery locations: Panama
Country classification: High-income
Intervention
Social or environmental challenge
The first phase of the project is the Cimufiana School of Community Leadership, which is focused on developing positive leadership skills, strengthening academic knowledge and developing social skills. We believe that in this way women have a greater chance of success in the development of their financial self-management projects.
In spite of this, the main challenge to give continuity to the project is to obtain funds that will allow the women to start the development of their entrepreneurship projects, in addition to providing professional training for the world of work so that they also have the opportunity to join the formal labor market.
In order to guarantee the continuity of the project, it is necessary that CIMUF as an NGO can guarantee its administrative, operational and technical functioning, as well as specialized personnel to achieve better results.
Description of the intervention
The project under development is the Cimufiana School of Community Leadership -Curundú. This project seeks to develop and install capacities for economic development, social mobilization and community development through the strengthening of leadership in women, especially LBT, migrants, Afro-descendants and indigenous people. The first stage of training lasts 4 months and the training topics: History and Identity of Curundú for the defense and territorial appropriation, Discrimination and Human Rights, Collective Leadership, History of Women in Politics and Development, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Digital Empowerment, Personal and Professional Image, and design of community and economic development projects. There are currently 30 beneficiaries. As a final assignment, the beneficiaries must formulate a personal economic proposal that also supports the sustainable development of the Curundú community, which is an impoverished area.
This fund will make it possible to achieve the second level "Project to strengthen women's economic leadership" whose objective is to achieve women's economic and social empowerment. Seed funds will be managed as an initial investment, and specialized business trainers will be hired. We also seek to strengthen professional skills to seek employment, since most of the women in this community have not had access to formal education.
