July 2023 – There are growing humanitarian impacts of conflict and climate events in East Africa, including Sudan, that have forced hunger upon millions of people in the region. In addition, severe droughts continue to affect many of these countries, leaving millions of people without reliable access to food and water. This situation has forced nearly 1.4 million people to flee their homes since the conflict in Sudan began on April 15, 2023.

In response to the elevated humanitarian needs in the region, GAC has launched the East Africa Matching Fund in partnership with the Humanitarian Coalition and its members. Through this mechanism, the Government of Canada matches eligible donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members up to a maximum of $5 million. The funds use these donations to deliver life-saving assistance to those in need. Project activities include: (1) providing emergency cash and voucher assistance to meet the basic needs of crisis-affected populations; (2) providing emergency shelter assistance and essential non-food items; (3) rehabilitating water, sanitation and hygiene facilities; and (5) providing protection and health services, including sexual and reproductive healthcare and services in response to gender-based violence.

This project aims to reduce threats to populations in the Indo-Pacific region from the proliferation of small arms and light weapons by advancing the universalization and national implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The project engages with key actors and states in the Indo-Pacific region to help identify challenges and opportunities with ATT compliance. Project activities include: (1) researching current trends and common issues around the legal and illegal trade of weapons and ammunition and the challenges hindering Indo-Pacific states’ accession to the ATT; (2) publishing a report summarizing the research findings at the 10th Conference of States Parties of the ATT in August 2024; and (3) disseminating the report further and engaging with wider audiences to determine interest in building on the core needs identified in the report.
