This project supports the implementation of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI)’s Endgame Strategic Plan, which provides a global roadmap to eradicate polio by 2020. Project activities include: (1) working with targeted governments to strengthen oral polio vaccine campaign safety and quality and introduce inactivated polio vaccine into routine immunization systems; (2) providing technical assistance to front-line workers to increase immunization coverage; and (3) working with governments to transition polio assets and infrastructure to broader health goals and national health systems.

The GPEI is a partnership between UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Rotary International and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

January 2021 - The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF works in developing countries through its development and humanitarian assistance programming to fulfill its mandate, including promoting the equal rights of girls and women, and to support their full participation in the political, social, and economic development of their communities.

With the support of GAC and other donors, UNICEF will fulfill its mandate. Project activities include: (1) providing lifesaving assistance to children, adolescents and families, including migrant populations affected by crises through safe water, sanitation and hygiene facilities (WASH), health and nutrition, and emergency education; and (2)providing child protection safe spaces including gender-based violence (GBV) risk mitigation, prevention or response interventions for children and women.

The project will ensure the principal engagement of women in the development and implementation of inclusive Local Resilience Plans (LRPs) to ensure their concerns are reflected in resilience-building measures. Targeted skills development for women will increase their adaptive capacity and resilience. The initiative will also advocate for national government institutions to recognize the unique challenges women and girls face in the face of adverse climate impacts.

This project contributes to establishing and running volunteer camps that include cultural and learning programs, facilitating volunteer network-building opportunities through hosting events and facilitating study visits.

Financial support is provided to SHAD’s program in developing the next generation of STEM leaders and change makers, based on the program’s goal to build a national pool of research excellence, encourage youth to contribute to the development of evidenced-based science policy, and ensure underrepresented groups take their place in STEM.

The project will digitize and migrate these materials to UNB’s existing online archival database. Once uploaded, materials will be organized by keyword and research topic, ensuring that they are easily searchable. All applicable meta-data (date, author, origin, etc.) will be included. A digital map exhibit based on the digitized materials will show locations of important cultural sites (captikwl/creation stories, transformer sites, villages, Syilx/Okanagan place names) and provide contextual information about each site. A wall map version of the digital map will also be printed and posted in UNB’s office. The project will further UNB’s goal to collect, record, and preserve the UNB’s cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations.

The objective of this Project is to promote awareness of sustainable use of natural resources including sustainable forest management principles, practices, technological advances, as well as the history of Canada's forest sector to Canadians across the country.
