This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Kimberley Process (KP) Secretariat. The KP Secretariat uses these funds and other donors’ funding to achieve its mandate, which is to break the link between rough diamonds and conflict. The KP is an international multi-stakeholder certification scheme that prevents the flow of “conflict diamonds” and helps protect the legitimate trade of rough diamonds. It is mandated by the United Nations and endorsed by multiple United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and United Nations Security Council resolutions. The KP contributes to ending diamond-fuelled armed conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in its early years. Canada, a founding member, played a key role in establishing the KP. Canada’s contribution helps the Secretariat enhance the KP’s work in a professional and dedicated administrative capacity.
