Grants and Contributions

Funding awarded for early engagement and participate in the public hearing process for the West Path Delivery 2023 Project.

This project involves the development of an ultra-portable low-cost platform for the rapid and accurate detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria in food products and samples from food production. The innovation uses on-site sample preparation tools with an integrated enrichment step to extract nucleic acids from different contaminated sample types and highly-sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification coupled with digital lateral flow devices to deliver reliable detection results in less than 2 hours.

This project involves the utilization of high pressure processing to sanitize quarantined commodity products for the deactivation of hitchhiker pests and pathogens.

Innovative pest management solutions for quarantine and pre-shipment uses would support exporters in meeting phytosanitary requirements with Canada's trading partners and address evolving plant health risks in Canada. This project aims to develop an alternative plant pest risk mitigation approach comparable to methyl bromide, but with fewer negative impacts to the environment and public health.

Business digitization and commercialization: The project aims to promote business development and the commercialization of products from Quebec's techno companies through the implementation of a virtual networking platform.

Equipment Acquisition: The project aims to ensure the quality and durability of the quad trails maintained by the client and especially used by tourists.

This project aims to improve the economic well-being of poor rural women, particularly ethnic minorities in Vietnam by increasing women’s participation in paid economic activities. The project also aims to challenge discriminatory gender norms by addressing the root causes of the unequal distribution of care work placed on women in Vietnam. At the national level, this project aims to influence the provision of public services, infrastructure, childcare and social protection policies. This helps to reduce mobility barriers, reduce and redistribute the unpaid care work disproportionately shouldered by women and girls.
Advancing Women’s Economic Empowerment in Vietnam (AWEEV) targets a total of 4,885 participants (3,050 women and 1,835 men) in 15 communes of Ha Giang and Lai Chau provinces. This project is supporting 1,550 EM women, predominantly tea and ginger farmers, along with 150 women identified for women-led grassroots social enterprises (GSEs). Additionally, the project seeks to support 1,085 EM men to participate in activities such as agricultural training and gender-responsive dialogues. AWEEV indirectly benefits 12,000 household members of EM beneficiaries.
Project activities include: (1) providing technical assistance for gender-responsive and inclusive governance with duty bearers, particularly village chiefs and communal officers; (2) providing technical assistance on organizing production and sustainable, climate-smart agricultural practices to rural and ethnic minorities, particularly women; (3) organizing community events promoting gender equality; and (4) facilitating policy dialogues by studying the benefits of reducing unpaid care work to encourage government authorities to focus on investments in infrastructure.

The project aims to contribute to increased circumpolar and Indigenous knowledge sharing in the North, by Northern Canadians by increasing opportunities for Northern Canadians, including Indigenous peoples, to participate in UArctic north2north Mobility Program; strengthening relationships between UArctic member institutions and Canadian territorial post-secondary institutions; increasing opportunities for a Northern Canadian post-secondary Indigenous leader to contribute to UArctic initiatives; and strengthening capacity to align Indigenous Knowledge across the circumpolar north. To do so, the project implements the north2north Mobility Program, hosts a Vice President Indigenous position held by a senior Indigenous leader from Northern Canada, and creates tools to increase the visibility and accessibility of Indigenous content and knowledge within the UArctic network.

P010189001 & P010189002: The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ (OCHA) primary mandate is to oversee the coordination of international humanitarian responses, in partnership with national and international actors, in order to achieve more coherent and effective humanitarian action. This grant represents Canada’s support to the UN Country-Based Pooled Funds, managed by OCHA, in Ethiopia, Iraq, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nigeria, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Yemen.
