Request For Proposals, BCCCC-NB Strategic Planning

Project description

With more than 30 member organizations, the Black Canadian Community Cultural Centre of New Brunswick (BCCCC-NB) is proud to represent the largest network of Afro-descendant organizations in New Brunswick. The BCCCC-NB plays a crucial role in preserving and enhancing the culture, heritage and contributions of the Afro-descendant community. It also acts as an intercultural bridge, fostering exchanges with other communities in the province through a variety of community, cultural, educational and social projects and initiatives.

Incorporated in June 2024, BCCCC-NB is committed to developing a five-year strategic plan (2025-2030) to redefine its vision, its mission, values and strategic orientation and development of its specific programs of interventions finally to strengthen the participation and engagement of black organizations and people in the community.

This initiative will be based on collective reflection and consultation with its members, as well as professional expertise. To ensure an inclusive approach, the consultant will organize a workshop to gather the expectations of representatives from the 30 member associations, artists, entrepreneurs and community decision makers. The consultant will also organize sessions for the validation of the strategic plan and the interim report, as well as a session for the validation of specific programmes including the budget of each programme for 5 years and the presentation of the final report. The specific strategy and programs will create a strategic framework that will guide BCCCC-NB’s interventions to improve the lives of Afro-descendants in New Brunswick, by promoting their access to economic opportunities, social and equitable, and recognition of their heritage and contributions in various fields in Canada.

The source of financing is the Foundation for Black Communities (FFBC)under Black Ideas Grant 2.0 – Catapult 2024 and Government of CANADA
