Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to establish relationships with key customers, end-users, investors and other international firms, which will help set the stage for potential Canadian projects in the International Technology Pilot and Demonstration (ITPD) Program: Cleantech call for proposals.

The project aims to improve the economic well-being of marginalized women and youth in southern Jordan by promoting green jobs, self-employment, and entrepreneurship in climate-resilient agribusiness. The project supports women- and youth-led businesses through training, innovation hubs, cooperatives, and access to climate-smart technologies, while strengthening market linkages and financial services.

The project aims to increase the economic well-being of Jordanian women and youth, including people with disabilities and Syrian refugees, through increased opportunities for employment in decent and green jobs in areas adjacent to industrial estates (IEs) in East and South Amman, Irbid, Madaba, Mafraq and Zarqa governorates. The project will target the manufacturing sector of 6 industrial estates which provide a concentration of medium and large-scale employers that provide both employment potential, and the economies of scale required to deliver shared services to women and youth, such as transport and childcare.

This project seeks to support the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) primary data collection program, which helps track and monitor displacement and population mobility, provide critical information to decision-makers and responders during humanitarian crises, and deepen understanding of population flows around the world. The project will target the following countries: Myanmar, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ukraine, Yemen, and South Sudan.

This project aims to strengthen the ability of civil society organizations, independent media, human rights defenders, and vulnerable groups to operate safely in increasingly contested digital environments ahead of the 2026 elections in Colombia and Brazil. The project would strengthen digital resilience through improved capacity of civil society actors, journalists and human rights defenders to anticipate, mitigate, and recover from cyber threats, including denial-of-service attacks, censorship pressures, and online harassment.

This project aims to ensure that vulnerable youth in San Ignacio and Santa Elena can participate fully in Belize’s economy by removing the barriers that prevent them from accessing education, vocational training, and formal employment.

This project aims to ensure that at-risk youth in Southern Belize can build safer, more resilient, and more productive futures by strengthening their cultural identity, leadership skills, and economic opportunities. Through arts-based empowerment, civic engagement, and practical livelihood training, the project seeks to reduce youth vulnerability to crime while equipping them with the confidence, skills, and resources needed to pursue meaningful employment or entrepreneurship. To achieve this long-term change, the project implements several concrete activities, including: 1) cultural and artistic engagement, such as the youth-led Lens on Heritage documentation initiative, intergenerational cultural exchanges, and community cultural showcases that strengthen identity and pro-social behaviour; 2) leadership development, delivered through Youth Leadership Circles, “Real Talk” peer dialogue podcast sessions, and youth-led community initiatives that build civic responsibility and emotional resilience; 3) entrepreneurship and livelihood training, including an 8-week business bootcamp, mentorship, seed funding, and the creation of 8–12 micro-enterprise clusters supported by shared Micro-Enterprise Kits; 4) accredited technical training, enrolling youth in Level 1 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs (e.g., electrical installation, carpentry, garment construction, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), agro-processing) to build marketable, job-ready skills; and 5) operation of a Community Hub, offering free Wi-Fi, printing services, cultural activities, business support sessions, and ongoing access to youth-friendly services through partnerships with local institutions.

This project aims to ensure that young apprentices in Orange Walk and Belize Districts gain fair access to well-paid, sustainable careers in technical trades, particularly in Air Conditioning (AC), Refrigeration, and Electrical Installation.
