Grants and Contributions

The Government of New Brunswick will work with First Nations and partners to double the amount of protected area across New Brunswick's ecozones.

The Passamaquoddy will work the province of New Brunswick and other stakeholders to develop an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) along the Skutik/St. Croix River in the traditional territory in New Brunswick of the Peskotomuhkati Nation.

The Government of Prince Edward Island will conserve approximately 4,400 hectares of high-priority areas and habitats, including PEI’s forests and wetlands, and will expand upon existing protected areas and establish new conserved areas in the province. This will have numerous benefits for species at risk including the common nighthawk, the Canada warbler, and the rusty blackbird.

This project proposes supplementing the response to Ebola through stabilization and peacebuilding efforts. The project aims to help contain the spread of Ebola, and reduce the community's violent resistance and mistrust of the Ebola response in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The project also aims to build trust between communities and non-medical state actors, such as elements of the police, loyalist members of the DRC armed forces, administrative officials and media leaders who play a key role in response activities. Interventions such as community dialogues and participatory theatre work to bring together key stakeholders, including women and youth, and reduce the security dilemma in favour of local government, thereby enhancing existing stabilization interventions. These activities take place in Butembo and Beni, North Kivu, where most of the Ebola crisis has spread and where community engagement can strategically support the Ebola response.

The project aims to improve the well-being of those living in the Gonaïves commune in Haiti. The project works to integrate waste management through allowing the sale of carbon credits and the production of green energy through the recovery of biogas produced by the decomposition of waste, which allows, in the long term, to self-finance waste management operations.

Project activities include: (1) carrying out engineering analyses; (2) installing the first biomethanation plant; (3) closing the current unofficial landfill site and reintegrating the disadvantaged population and women in recycling and waste collection activitie; (4) establishing an energy sales contract and carbon credits; (5) implementing a comprehensive campaign to raise awareness around healthy and smart management of waste and the environment; (6) providing job training in the field of waste collection and landfill management; and (7) establishing a team of waste collection and recycling operators.

The project activities aim to directly reach 50,000 people in Gonaïves (60% of whom are women) by the end of the project.
