Migrants, Refugees, and Societies: World Development Report 2023 Launch
2023-06-19 16:30 - 18:00 (America/Toronto) | Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, 199 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 1K6, Canada
About 184 million people—2.3 percent of the world’s population—live outside of their country of nationality. Almost half of them are in low- and middle-income countries. With global economic imbalances, climate change, and other complex factors, migration will become increasingly necessary in the decades to come, with the potential to deepen development challenges. However, the authors of the World Bank’s 2023 World Development Report assert that if migration is managed well, it can result in prosperity and help to achieve the SDGs.
On June 19, join Aga Khan Foundation Canada and Cooperation Canada for an engaging discussion centered on the launch of the 2023 World Development Report. Join us to learn directly from the report’s 2023 Co-Director, Çağlar Özden, about the World Bank’s proposed framework to maximize the positive impact of global migration.

FUTURE OF GOOD LIVE: CANADA'S FEMINIST INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE POLICY
2023-05-04 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Toronto)
A new Auditor General report concluded that Global Affairs Canada was unable to demonstrate how Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) contributed to improving gender equality in low- and middle-income countries. Significant weaknesses in Global Affairs Canada’s information management practices prevented it from assessing outcomes and reporting completely to Parliament and Canadians. How might INGOs integrate FIAP in their missions moving forward? What actions should GAC take to address this? What are the implications for development assistance and gender policy domestically?
While the Government of Canada launched the FIAP with the main objective of ending poverty around the world, Future of Good reported that almost 6 years later, FIAP has not been implemented as an official policy or integrated into Canada’s Official Development Assistance Accountability Act (2008). Join editor reporter Shannon Van Raes and experts in the international development sector as they dive into the complexities of the AG’s findings and FIAP implementation on gender based analysis and development assistance. You’ll understand the state, severity and cascading effects of the issue as well as learn about what this means for Canada’s contribution to the SDGs, funding and reporting for INGOs and more.

Building off of the success of our cross-country gatherings in 2022, the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health (CanWaCH) is happy to share that we will be coming to a city near you as a part of our CanWaCH Dialogues in spring 2023!
Our members and partners have told us these in-person dialogues offer tremendous value in driving momentum towards new partnerships and collaboration. Help us wrap-up each day with a casual evening of discussion and networking open to our colleagues from across the CanWaCH membership and from the Canadian global health and international cooperation sector.
