The only way to beat the COVID-19 virus is to beat it everywhere. Ensuring that everyone is vaccinated, no matter where they live, is a complex challenge requiring multiple solutions and the need to leverage every tool available to us. The roadmap to vaccinating the world against COVID-19, including the most marginalized populations, is one we all need to navigate together. Check out our new resource on vaccine equity to learn about the key areas that Canadian organizations are focused on to help end the COVID-19 pandemic.
In commemoration of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT), this webinar introduces a forthcoming CanWaCH toolkit for integrating LGBTI people into work in developing countries. Join us on May 20th at 11:00 am EDT for an overview of LGBTI populations, trends in data, health needs, organizational capacity and readiness to address LGBTI issues, and tips on how to move forward.
Across diverse and continually changing humanitarian and fragile contexts, one consistent challenge is measuring impact and positive change. In our final critical dialogue series, partners from the Canadian Collaborative for Global Health will discuss the findings and implication of their work in this reality. Join us on May 27th at 11:00 am EDT to explore the challenges of measuring impact in humanitarian contexts, particularly in regards to health and rights programming.
Today’s world is confronted with an unprecedented need for sound research evidence to inform policies and programs. What can we learn from past experiences? Join us on June 3rd at 10:30 am EDT to explore how the concept of “evidence to action” was implemented by the IMCHA initiative to improve maternal and child health in sub-Saharan Africa.
Travel guidance for international development partners during the pandemic is now live on the Global Affairs Canada website. For more resources, check out the COVID-19 resource section on the CanWaCH website.
