Grants and Contributions

This project funds EntrepreNorth's Empowering Innovation Spirit Conference, which is an initiative that focuses on empowering Indigenous entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses and livelihoods across Northern Canada. By creating space for Northern and Indigenous voices to lead dialogue on Arctic development, business innovation, and policy, this initiative complements Canada’s efforts to promote Indigenous leadership in international Arctic forums, elevate youth perspectives, and strengthen cross-border cooperation rooted in shared values and local realities.

This grant represents Canada's long-term institutional support to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). OCHA uses these funds and other donors' funding to achieve its mandate. OCHA's primary mandate is to coordinate international humanitarian responses in partnership with national and international actors to achieve more coherent and effective humanitarian action.

Project activities include: (1) coordinating the global emergency response; (2) raising awareness of forgotten crises, promoting respect for international humanitarian law, bringing the voices of affected people to the forefront and helping people access assistance; (3) mobilizing and engaging the full range of financing instruments, mechanisms and partners to meet growing needs; (4) developing policy to improve humanitarian action and decision-making; and (5) providing information management services to the humanitarian community to inform rapid, effective and principled responses.

This project aims to strengthen gender-responsive mine action efforts in emergency and long-term recovery activities for crisis-affected women and girls in Myanmar. Project activities include: (1) creating a tool to support the mapping of natural hazards (landmine contamination, flooding, and cyclones) in earthquake impacted areas; (2) conducting a rapid analysis of Mines Advisory Group's existing contamination baseline and open-source data to highlight the likelihood of explosive ordnance contamination in earthquake impacted areas; (3) strengthening victim assistance services through referral mapping, coordination and cash-based assistance; and (4) delivering explosive ordnance risk education to conflict-affected earthquake impacted communities.

The purpose of this CanExport Associations contribution agreement is to support organizations and ultimately aims to increase the competitiveness of Canadian companies, in the international marketplace, on a sectoral basis, thereby contributing to Canadian prosperity and the growth of the Canadian economy. This financial support enables the recipient to undertake new or expanded international business development promotion activities, in a given sector, for the benefit of its entire industry (member and non-member firms).

April 2025 – In complex emergencies, humanitarian actors, including donors, face significant challenges in gathering data from multiple sources and using it effectively in a coordinated, timely and comprehensive fashion. Needs assessments rely heavily on the analysis conducted by partners such as IMPACT Initiatives. Further, the rapid expansion of data availability and use has created challenges for the humanitarian community in assessing which data points are meaningful, useful and relevant.

IMPACT Initiatives is the largest independent data provider in contexts of crisis. The organization’s REACH program strengthens evidence-based decision-making by humanitarian actors through efficient data collection, management and analysis in contexts of crisis. This leads to improved planning and prioritization of aid and improves the overall humanitarian response in reaching those with the greatest needs.

With GAC’s support, this project aims to bolster the availability and quality of multi-sectoral data and its analysis. Project activities include: (1) analyzing trends in humanitarian conditions using Multi-Sectoral Needs Analysis data; (2) conducting comprehensive primary research; (3) developing Application Protocol Interfaces to improve integration of REACH’s analytical products; and (4) analysing gender-based humanitarian needs.

June 2025 –The health situation in Gaza remains critical due to ongoing hostilities which led to high numbers of casualties, injuries, and mass displacement. Health facilities are operating under severe constraints, with limited supplies, damaged infrastructure, and staff working under extreme pressure. The already fragile healthcare system is struggling to meet the growing needs, particularly in trauma care, maternal and child health, and infectious and chronic disease management. Ongoing support is crucial to sustain and restore urgent medical care and essential healthcare services.

With GAC's support, Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM) helps reduce suffering, maintain human dignity, and save lives in communities experiencing humanitarian crises in Gaza.
Project activities include: (1) providing emergency health services especially for conflict-related injuries; (2) providing primary healthcare services including sexual and reproductive healthcare and mental health, maternal nutrition, and mental health and psychosocial support; (3) providing gender-based violence (GBV) medical and counselling services; and (4) distributing hygiene and dignity kits to displaced women and adolescent girls.
