The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)’s "Scaling Up Gender-Inclusive and Climate-Resilient Livelihoods Program in Somalia" responds to Somalia's significant climate vulnerability and expressed need for greater climate-adaptation support. As one of the root causes of the country's cyclical and prolonged humanitarian crises, climate change in Somalia requires an increased focus on inclusive and conflict-sensitive natural resource management, climate-related disaster risk planning, climate-resilient livelihoods and inclusive and gender-sensitive governance. This project aims to fund activities that fulfill these objectives through 2 joint United Nations programmes. This includes one that seeks to layer humanitarian and development interventions to increase the climate resilience of Somali agro-pastoralists and pastoralists. Another one seeks to ensure gender-sensitive outcomes from the rehabilitation of significant irrigation and flood management infrastructure along of Somalia’s largest rivers. Project activities include: (1) building government capacity; (2) developing analysis and structures to enable community-led climate-related disaster risk planning and natural resource management; (3) providing training and resources to diversify and strengthen climate-resilient livelihoods; (4) enabling access to additional financial resources for marginalized groups; and (5) developing and implementing actionable gender analyses within a large-scale climate adaptation programme.

PROGRESAR+ aims to enhance climate resilience and economic well-being of women and young agri-entrepreneurs in the Andean-Amazonian regions of Colombia and Ecuador by targeting climate adaptation solutions. The objective is to increase the revenue of farming households while protecting and restoring the biodiversity of forest landscapes. Project activities include: (1) developing and aiding the implementation of nature-based and climate-smart agriculture and agro-forestry practices, integrating traditional knowledge alongside innovative research and development; (2) supporting producer associations, co-operatives, and communities to optimize production, economic well-being, nature-based governance, climate adaptation, and biodiversity protection; (3) building the capacities of financial institutions to meet the needs of women and youth agri-entrepreneurs, including through tailored products and services; and (4) working with government partners and development banks to promote and enable innovative climate f

This project will build a three-year collaboration between Thompson Rivers University and the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. This will allow researchers across the Indo-Pacific to strengthen their research collaboration through the support of a major research project on food security. In Year 1, the project will conduct a literature review, design surveys, and hold a conference in Sri Lanka in December 2025. Year 2 will expand research to other South Asian countries and host a hybrid conference in Canada, with ongoing dissemination activities. Year 3 will focus on further dissemination and establishing a Food Security in the Indo-Pacific Working Group for future research. The publication of open-source conference proceedings as well as two op-eds will be published in major media outlets in Sri Lanka and Canada, a co-authored peer-reviewed manuscript will be submitted to a top-tier journal, and a public policy document will be created to propose a framework for food security as a core objective of Canada’s

The Global Concessional Financing Facility (GCFF) mobilizes financial resources to support middle-income countries affected by refugee crises. Canada is 1 of the 10 members of the Steering Committee for this financing mechanism. Recognizing the global public good provided by these countries in hosting significant populations of refugees, GCFF uses donor contributions to significantly reduce interest rates on loans provided to host countries by partner multilateral development banks. This lower-cost financing targets projects that improve the well-being of refugees and local host communities in areas such as education, health, and job creation, aiming for sustainable development outcomes.

This project helps underserved communities in developing countries build financial stability by supporting new financial tools ultimately mobilize both public and private capital to bridge the financing gap for the Sustainable Development Goals.
To achieve this objective, the project provides design funding grants in addition to knowledge, tools, resources and training on blended finance to fund and asset managers. This seeks to enable them to design and launch impact-focused and gender-inclusive solutions targeted towards underserved markets in emerging and developing countries.

This project seeks to further Canada’s support to Ukraine’s digital resilience by providing targeted cyber training courses to Ukrainian government agencies. It is imperative to bolster Ukraine's cyber defences and enhance its ability to rebuild and modernize its critical digital infrastructure. Strengthening these capabilities is not just a strategic necessity for Ukraine, but also a crucial step toward ensuring the stability of global cybersecurity networks. As malicious cyber activity can target Canadians or Canadian interests from any part of the world, it is essential that Canada works to ensure all states have the tools and capacity to effectively combat cyber threats that might emanate from their country, while also working with allies to secure global networks.

This project supports the Government of Ukraine’s efforts to strengthen decentralized recovery planning and implementation. Project activities include : (1) training in Gender-Based Analysis+ (GBA+) to relevant national authorities to strengthen their capacity to deliver inclusive recovery initiatives; (2) supporting the national Ministry for Restoration to strengthen its capacity to analyze and communicate recovery data; (3) training and supporting local authorities on strategic planning, project management and results reporting; (4) training and supporting local civil society organizations to strengthen their capacity to represent vulnerable communities; and (5) granting funding to selected local recovery projects.

This project will continue WTRP support for the IAEA’s promotion of the Code of Conduct and its Supplementary Guidance through a three-year, multi-donor project that will deliver an expanded list of activities to advance political commitment to and the implementation of the Code.
