SUMMARY:Femmes et filles en situation de handicap : l'aide publique au développement à la croisée des chemins du handicap et du genre
DESCRIPTION:*Event is offered in French only \nDans le cadre de la Semaine du développement international\, Humanité & Inclusion (HI) Canada\, en collaboration avec l’Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (AQOCI)\, organise le jeudi 8 février prochain de 11h à 12h (UTC-5) un webinaire intitulé « Femmes et filles en situation de handicap : l’aide publique au développement à la croisée des chemins du handicap et du genre ». \nComme le mentionne la Note d’information du même nom corédigé par Dawn Canada\, HI Canada et le Living Well Research Centre\, les femmes et les filles en situation de handicap sont rarement prises en compte ou spécifiquement visées par les investissements liés à l’aide humanitaire et au développement. Elles sont aussi trop peu reconnues par le mouvement des droits des femmes : en témoigne l’absence de référence explicite des femmes et des filles en situation de handicap dans la Convention sur l’élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l’égard des femmes. \nDans le cadre du webinaire\, les panélistes invitées exploreront les différents aspects liés à ces enjeux. Il sera animé par Michèle Asselin\, directrice générale de l’AQOCI.  \nLes panélistes sont :\n– Dieynaba Diallo\, vice-présidente de Femmes Droit et Développem (FeDDAF) Sénégal et coordonnatrice de la Coalition régionale du FeDDAF\, organisation participant à l’initiative Making it Work mise en œuvre par Humanité & Inclusion\n– Nicole Nyangolo Ndamuso\, coordonnatrice régionale de Concertation des Collectifs des Associations Féminines de la Région des Grands-Lacs pour le programme «Éducation des filles pour un avenir meilleur dans la région des Grands Lacs» mis en œuvre avec le consortium Fondation Paul Gérin-Lajoie et CECI\n– Nancy Saint-Louis\, chercheuse pour le projet «Genre\, handicap et développement inclusif» du Live Work Well Research Centre et candidate au doctorat \nAnne Delorme\, directrice générale de HI Canada\, conclura avec les recommandations de la Note d’information.  \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Webinar on strengthening vaccine delivery and uptake in Africa: How can research help?
DESCRIPTION:Join a diverse panel of experts who will share their insights and identify solutions to support and accelerate vaccine delivery and uptake in Africa at a webinar on February 21.We are hosting the second in our series of 90-minute webinars on the challenges of and opportunities for strengthening vaccine delivery and uptake in Africa. Please join us to learn more about this international effort.  \nThe African Union set an ambitious objective of developing\, producing and distributing at least 60% of the vaccines for Africa by 2040 and has established the Partnerships for African Vaccine Manufacturing to enhance the continent’s supply resilience. It aims to increase health security across the continent and globally. At present\, less than 0.1% of the world’s vaccine supply is manufactured in Africa\, and only 1% of vaccines deployed in Africa are manufactured on the continent. \nOther partners\, including Global Affairs Canada\, the Mastercard Foundation and IDRC\, are investing in this objective. Global Affairs Canada’s Global Initiative for Vaccine Equity has invested CAD317 million to increase COVID-19 vaccination among priority groups\, reinforce health-system capacity and diversify vaccine manufacturing capacity in 12 target countries\, most of which are in Africa. The Mastercard Foundation’s Saving Lives and Livelihoods program aims to secure vaccines for a minimum of 50 million individuals and facilitate the administration of vaccinations to millions more across Africa. IDRC is funding research to identify the challenges and issues associated with scaling vaccine manufacturing and distribution in Africa\, and to accelerate the uptake and use of new vaccines as they are rolled out.The discussion will be hosted in English with live French interpretation. \nThis roundtable\, co-sponsored by IDRC and Global Affairs Canada\, is the second in a series to share information and identify ways to help overcome the challenges that lie ahead.  \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Advancing Action on Adaptation: Implications of COP28
DESCRIPTION:Greater support and action on adaptation is a longstanding need\, as outlined in the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA)\, established under the 2015 Paris Agreement. The estimated cost of adaptation for developing countries could reach up to US$387 billion annually within this decade\, underscoring the importance of addressing the scale and frequency of climate-related disasters and impacts. The GGA is a framework to provide measurable targets\, indicators\, and guidelines aimed at catalysing adaptation initiatives and enhancing financing and support for developing countries. Yet\, putting the GGA into action has proved challenging. \nAt COP28\, Parties identified gaps as part of the first Global Stocktake\, and sought to advance progress on the GGA by adopting the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience. \nOn February 22\, join Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for a virtual event on advancing global action on adaptation and the implications of COP28’s adaptation-related outcomes. The event will include presentations\, a panel discussion with experts\, followed by a Q&A\, and interactive discussion groups. \nThrough this virtual event\, we aim to: \n– Support Canadian organizations and other interested practitioners in better understanding adaptation-related outcomes of COP28\, including progress on the GGA.\n– Consider approaches for connecting local knowledge and scientific data to strengthen resilience through a case study on Aga Khan Agency for Habitat adaptation initiatives in vulnerable mountain environments.\n– Engage participants in an interactive discussion on how GGA-related outcomes may affect local adaptation initiatives\, particularly those related to monitoring\, evaluation\, and learning frameworks. \nPresenters \n– Deo Raj Gurung\, Chief Scientist for Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH)\n– Emilie Beauchamp\, Lead\, Monitoring\, Evaluation and Learning for Adaptation\, Resilience Program for International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) \nWith remarks from Liam Thorne\, Program and Partnerships Officer\, AKFC \nPanelists \nModerator:\n– Emilie Beauchamp\, Lead\, Monitoring\, Evaluation and Learning for Adaptation\, Resilience Program for International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)\n– Emily Goodwin\, Senior Manager\, Climate Policy for Rare\n– Kristen Ostling\, Senior Advisor\, Policy and Advocacy for Plan International Canada \nAdditional panelists will be announced. \nAbout the organizers \nThis event is co-hosted by AKFC and IISD as part of AKFC’s Speaker Series on Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation and IISD’s Nature for Climate Adaptation Initiative (NCAI)\, supported by Global Affairs Canada. \nAKFC’s Speaker Series on Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation \nThe series aims to bring together practitioners\, advocates\, and others who share an interest in exploring and discussing how we may use the climate crisis as a catalyst for great leaps in addressing the complex challenges involved in confronting climate change in a manner that advances sustainable development\, well-being\, and resilient livelihoods for all. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Speak up: Youth voices for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights around the world
DESCRIPTION:Are you an avid advocate for what you believe in and passionate about youth health and rights\, or do you want to learn more? \nThe past decade or so has shown us how connected we all are as human beings and how events in one corner of the world can affect the rest of the world. This is why we wanted to create a safe space to exchange realities and ideas about what it means to be a youth advocate for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights around the world. \nCARE Canada and partners invite you to join our virtual event – Speak Up: Youth voices for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) around the world! \nRegister now: \nRegister to attend the event on Tuesday\, February 27th for a panel discussion with inspiring youth SRHR advocates from Canada\, Kenya\, Uganda and Zambia. Panelists will share their unique insights from their regions on youth SRHR\, speak to their own advocacy journeys and show how to take action yourself within this space. Participants can earn a certificate of participation to show off their new knowledge! \nEvent timeline: \nThe event is divided into a 30-minute panel discussion and subsequent breakout rooms with each of the speakers. Select one of the breakout rooms to join after the panel discussion based on your interests or region. You will have the opportunity to explore youth SRHR advocacy in more depth alongside the panelist of your choice and a smaller group of participants. \nCome to learn about and discuss SRHR advocacy\, and network with likeminded youth around the world! \nShare this event with your friends and community! We look forward to seeing you there. \nPS. check your time zone to know when to join the event:\n• 7:00 – 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time\n• 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time\n• 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. Central African Time\n• 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Eastern African Time \nRegister here!
