The Aid to Scholarly Journals funding opportunity's goal is to increase dissemination, access to, and readership for original research results in the social sciences and humanities through Canadian scholarly journals.

The project will empower women entrepreneurs, including refugees and women with disabilities, in the green economy across six high-poverty governorates.

Through this 13-month project, YWCA Halifax will further elaborate on existing promising practices to advance knowledge and supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking in Nova Scotia. This will be achieved by building on past and existing initiatives, such as the work led by the Trafficking and Exploitation Services System (TESS), to meet community needs when identifying and responding to cases of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Key activities include developing a work plan and evaluation framework that align with existing programs and provincial initiatives, developing and delivering training on topics identified as by the TESS community, translating key resources into French, launching a public awareness campaign, and advocating for a provincial declaration relating to human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children and youth.

Since its inception in March 2021, and through subsequent amendments in September 2021 and April 2023, the UNDP/PAPP-supported project on democratization and electoral processes has made notable progress in advancing democratic governance, civic engagement, and inclusive electoral systems in Palestine. Building on achievements from the previous phase, the current project aims to scale up and institutionalize democratic behavioural change across Palestinian society, while continuing to strengthen electoral frameworks and processes.

Designed to be dynamic and responsive to evolving contexts, the project is structured around four key outputs: (1) support to the Electoral Management Board and stakeholders in managing electoral processes, including local elections; (2) promotion of inclusive public participation and representation; (3) reinforcement of social cohesion and peacebuilding efforts; and (4) support for general elections—both presidential and parliamentary—before and after the vote. This strategic approach has enabled deeper engagement with previously underrepresented groups such as youth coalitions, student councils, and unions, fostering democratic values at all levels. The project’s flexible design allows for targeted focus on specific outputs or activities depending on the situation on the ground.

The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) provides international protection and assistance to the world’s refugees, stateless persons, asylum seekers, and in some instances, internally displaced persons.

With the support of GAC and other donors, this project provides assistance and protection to refugees, internally displaced persons or other persons of concern in Burundi and Mozambique. Project activities include, providing lifesaving assistance to refugees and other people of concern, including protection, shelter and core relief items, health care services, water, sanitation and hygiene, cash assistance, livelihoods and socio-economic inclusion, mental health, and psychosocial support.

Special advocates will attend and contribute to professional development sessions and to the Bench and Bar Committee meetings and other related meetings.

The purpose of this contribution is to reimburse Prasanna Balasundaram for activities undertaken by him in his role as a Special Advocate in relation to hearings before the court.
