SUMMARY:Community-led Solutions: Building Capacity and Bridging Sustainable Development Goal Gaps
DESCRIPTION:As the midpoint of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) draws near\, the Mothers Matter Centre is orchestrating a national virtual event. This event aims to reflect on Canada’s progress toward achieving Agenda 2030. Over the past five years\, approximately 1.3 million newcomers have made Canada their permanent home. Despite Canada’s notable ranking on the Human Development Index\, disparities persist\, particularly among newcomers\, refugees\, and Indigenous communities. These disparities hinder their access to essential rights and impede their journey toward achieving the SDG targets. \nGovernment policy makers\, global initiatives\, social service organizations\, civil society\, and the community members\, can work together to bridge the existing SDG gaps in socially and economically isolated communities. The SDGs National Event will explore how local communities and passionate activists play a pivotal role in driving social\, economic\, and environmental progress on a local\, global\, and international scale. Learn about successful projects and initiatives led by community members\, showcasing their resilience\, innovation\, and dedication. It will also highlight programs and practices that can assist vulnerable communities in addressing their local needs and providing solutions to bridge the SDG gaps in isolated Canadian communities. The Mothers Matter Centre’s goal is to create an inclusive platform where SDG experts\, government representatives\, women’s rights activists\, and community workers can share their experiences and learn from one another. This exchange of knowledge and ideas will propel Canada’s progress toward the SDGs. \nRSVP here!

SUMMARY:Gender Lens Investing: The Role of Translation
DESCRIPTION:Gender lens investing is an approach that integrates a gender analysis into investment analysis and decision-making to better inform investment decisions and advance gender equality. However\, gender experts and finance organizations often lack the capacity to integrate their analyses. This problem exists in traditional banks or microfinance institutions where women often still struggle to access appropriate financial services\, and in the unequal structures of power in the broader structures of finance that shape the global economy. Translation work between finance and gender is essential to closing the analysis gap and making gender lens investing work effectively. \nThis event is sponsored by WUSC\, in partnership with Criterion Institute as part of the ARISE grant funded by Global Affairs Canada\, and CAFIID’s Gender Lens Investing Community of Practice (CoP)\, with support from the Government of Canada’s Investment Readiness Program (IRP). As part of our ecosystem building mandate\, we will bring together members of CAFIID\, Cooperation Canada’s Innovative finance working group\, Table of Impact Investment Practitioners (TIIP) as well as government stakeholders. \nOverall objective:\n– Create space amongst CAFIID members and relevant GLI stakeholders to reflect on how translation can facilitate stronger GLI approaches. \nSpecific objectives:\n– Build knowledge and collaboration amongst CAFIID members and other GLI stakeholders\n– Identify the role that CSOs/WROs can play in advancing a GLI translation function\n– Identify lessons for GAC and other major donor/investors related to GLI and translation\n– Share learning around partnerships between CSOs and private sector \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:The SDG second half: Ideas for doing things differently
DESCRIPTION:World leaders just met at the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals midpoint summit . Halfway between the SDG’s 2015 launch and the 2030 deadline\, the mood was somber. Stark global tensions alongside inadequate SDG progress made for a tough outlook for the next seven years. In the words of Secretary-General António Guterres\, “halfway to 2030 #GlobalGoals deadline\, the world is woefully off-track. Now is not the time for incrementalism.” \nThe world has not been doing enough to be on course for SDG success. What can we learn from what has gone well? Where could a burst of effort tackle gaps? Perhaps\, most importantly\, what needs to be done differently? \nOn October 5\, Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) and the Brookings Center for Sustainable Development will host an event in-person and online discussing the Brookings compendium of essays: The SDG Second Half: Ideas for doing things differently. The essays offer insights and actionable recommendations to address pressing issues in the second half of the SDG era. We will have the opportunity to discuss opportunities for SDG breakthroughs and leadership—both globally and from a Canadian perspective. \nAdditional information for attendees: \n– Networking/Refreshments: In-person attendees are encouraged to participate in an informal networking session and enjoy refreshments before and after the event.\n– This session will be offered in English only. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence: Tools and Best Practices to “Do No Harm”
DESCRIPTION:While digital spaces have become a game-changer in advancing gender equality\, they also mirror the systemic divides that exist in the physical world. This has created new ways for women\, girls\, and gender-diverse people to be isolated\, exploited\, abused\, harassed\, silenced\, and excluded. In particular\, technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV)* – – has become a growing threat and carries significant health\, safety\, political and economic consequences for women and girls\, for their families and communities\, and for society as a whole. \nOn September 27 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT\, join CanWaCH to discuss strategies\, tools and best practices to address and prevent TFGBV through multiple approaches and at different levels. This session will provide a multi-sectoral approach\, sharing diverse perspectives on how different organizations balance working towards closing the gender digital divide and prioritizing women’s agency in online spaces while ensuring their protection. \n*Technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) refers to any act that is committed\, assisted\, aggravated\, or amplified by the use of information communication technologies or other digital tools likely to cause physical\, sexual\, psychological\, social\, political\, or economic harm or other infringement of rights. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Unpaid Care Work as a Cause and Consequence of Gender Inequality: The Impact on Women and Girls' Education
DESCRIPTION:Gender norms and practices result in women and girls shouldering a disproportionate amount of unpaid care work around the world. This unequal distribution of care work greatly impacts their access to education and economic opportunities and is a root cause of their social and economic disempowerment. As a result\, there is a great need to recognize this issue and implement a targeted focus on programming that reduces and redistributes unpaid care work. \nOn September 20 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT\, join CanWaCH to discuss the impact of unpaid care work on women and girls’ access to education\, and further explore the intersections that exist between SDG 5\, gender equality\, and SDG 4\, inclusive and quality education for all. The panel will also consider the key tools needed to transform the care economy in order to create transformative change for both gender equality and inclusive and quality education for all. \nClick here to register!
