What an exciting year! CanWaCH had the opportunity to work with young people at Women Deliver 2019 in the spring and the Summit for Canada’s Global Leadership in the fall. CanWaCH has been inspired by the young people that our team had the pleasure to meet and learn from throughout the year. At CanWaCH, we believe that young people are not only the leaders of tomorrow but the leaders of today. So, our team is proud to introduce a NEW section on our website inspired by youth FOR youth! On behalf of everyone at CanWaCH, we wish you and yours a very happy holiday season. See you in 2020!
We are putting youth at the forefront of global health, development and gender equality… Let us know what you think Canada’s international development community should make a priority in 2020!
To celebrate the end of the year, the CanWaCH team has put together a list of our favourite global health and gender equality highlights from 2019! Did your favourite moments make our list? Let us know what you would include in your “Best of 2019” list on Twitter using @CanWaCH and #LeadOnCanada.
At the end of November, the Summit on Canada’s Global Leadership brought together diverse voices across sectors to discuss and analyze the gaps, successes, and opportunities for a balanced approach to policy coherence. Here are some standout moments from #LeadershipCAN2019.
