About

The Organizational Standards Project is administered by the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants (OCASI). This project embarks in a multi-pronged approach to support organizations to self-assess and gain access to effective capacity building opportunities, and to support knowledge transfer within and across sectors.  The aim of this work is to strengthen capacity and accountability in the immigrant and refugee serving sector in Ontario through the implementation of organizational standards and related tools.

This project is funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and is part of ongoing work within the sector on capacity development.

This website has been created to provide OCASI members, partners and other stakeholders with regular updates on project developments. It is also one of the means by which feedback can be given as we move forward in implementing organizational standards within the immigrant and refugee serving sector.

OCASI was formed in 1978 to act as a collective voice for immigrant and refugee serving agencies across Ontario and to coordinate responses to shared needs and concerns. Its membership is comprised of more than 200 community-based organizations. Visit the OCASI website for more details on our activities.
