Grants and Contributions

This project aims to improve the lives of Lebanese and Syrian women and girls by strengthening the capacity of key national and local government institutions and Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) implementing partners to support gender-responsible policy making. The project also works to integrate gender into the LCRP to ensure that development and humanitarian efforts consider the experiences, needs, and contributions of women and girls. Project activities include: (1) providing technical support and capacity building for gender mainstreaming to national institutions, ministries, municipalities and LCRP implementing partners; and (2) developing in-focus briefs and guidance notes to inform advocacy on particular topics from a gender perspective, such as gender-based violence, economic inclusion, empowerment and voices in decision-making, capacities for reconciliation, and conflict resolution.

This project aims to carry out community liaison activities that link local leaders (women and men) to the military demining units assigned to clear mines in their communities. These liaison activities work to contribute to ensuring that the needs and priorities of women and men from local populations are met by fostering the population’s active contributions to mine action identification and prioritization processes. The project also aims to provide mine risk education to vulnerable communities, including women and girls, in order to promote safe behaviors and reduce the incidence of landmine accidents and victims. This includes both communities where demining activities are occurring and communities where there have been recent incidents of landmine accidents but where security situations do not permit demining activities.

Since the beginning of the conflict in Syria, many war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed. This project supports the Syrian Legal Development Program (SLDP) work with Syrian civil society organizations (CSOs), to increase their understanding of how to use judicial systems and public institutions, to attain justice and hold perpetrators of crime accountable. The project also focuses on identifying and holding companies and business leaders that have committed crimes accountable. The SLDP works to accomplish this by providing Western governments with information that can help them develop more targeted and robust sanctions.

This Project will address regional surveillance challenges through the provision of equipment and training to front-line experts in up to seven countries in Central and West Africa. This will increase capacity to identify threats earlier and with higher confidence, and alert the global community and mobilize resources to control and contain outbreaks in a timely manner.

Wildlife health and plastics – surveillance, health intelligence and knowledge mobilization

This research project aims to improve our understanding of the carcinogenic risk of cosmic radiation as encountered by astronauts in deep space. DNA mutations created by radiotherapy radiation on Earth will be studied. Findings will be useful not only for Canadian astronauts in deep space, but also for Canadian radiotherapy patients and radiation oncology physicians on Earth.

The proposed research approach examines the mutations caused by both sparsely and densely ionizing radiation in the DNA of human cells. It will consist in taking samples of cells, exposing them to both forms of radiation. A new technology in the form of single-cell DNA sequencing will be used to identify and compare the mutations created in each sample.
