This work will employ a combination of remote sensing data analysis, sample analysis, and simulations of impact crater formation to improve our understanding of the geological context and history of the first Canadian rover landing site region and broader south polar area of the Moon. In addition, analogue field activities and the analysis of samples (Apollo samples, lunar meteorites, regolith simulants) using the first Canadian rover instruments and traditional lab facilities will also better prepare the team for the first Canadian rover operations.

The objective of this AO is to support Canadian students to participate in national and international space conferences and training events that will offer them the opportunity to learn about and be involved in the latest developments in space science and technology, to develop their professional network, and in some cases, present their research results at the national and international level.

This project seeks to enhance the equal enjoyment of the rights of adolescent girls and women (AGW) to be free from gender-based violence (GBV). This includes child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) in Cambodia, Kenya and the Philippines. Project activities include: (1) providing family planning competency-based training to healthcare workers; (2) strengthening capacity of health center staff, private providers and hospital staff in psycho-social counseling, with a focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender-based violence (GBV); (3) facilitating community actions that address community-specific SRHR needs and causes of GBV; and (4) providing data-driven advocacy training to improve the use of data as evidence to support resilient solutions to adolescent girls and women’s SRHR and GBV needs.

This project aims to improve sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) outcomes for marginalized or vulnerable women and girls (W&G) in six districts of Central Sulawesi and Papua, in partnership with the Indonesian authorities, the women's organization Aisyiyah and the Indonesian Family Planning Association (PKBI). The expected results of the project include: (1) improved delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care in facilities and communities for W&G; (2) increased utilization of quality health care, particularly SRH by W&G, including those who are marginalized or vulnerable. These results will be achieved through key project activities: (a) gender-sensitive training of healthcare providers at the puskesmas (health center) level, including on SRHR issues, emergency obstetric and neonatal care, family planning, post-abortion care, female genital care, gender-based violence and nutrition for mothers and girls; (b) creating or rehabilitating infrastructure, e.g. equipping selected puskesmas and creating mobile and satellite clinics for hard-to-reach communities ; (c) capacity-building and support for F&F, including those who are marginalized or vulnerable, in SRHR; (d) gender-sensitive training of community leaders on gender issues, for example by organizing community forums aimed at better dialogue between F&F and local power-holders, or by training religious and traditional leaders; (e) raising awareness of gender issues among boys, men and parents. The project will directly affect 420,000 people, and indirectly all 1.7 million people in the six districts.

The "Children Associated with Armed Forces and Groups (CAAFAG): Prevention, Safe Release, and Reintegration in Mozambique" project aims to enhance the protection, well-being and empowerment of vulnerable children, particularly girls, affected by armed conflict in northern Mozambique. The project will: 1) Prevent recruitment and use of children by armed forces and groups through profiling of vulnerable children, providing alternatives, engaging communities in dialogues, and advocating for the implementation of key child protection policies; 2) Reintegrate children associated to armed forces and groups (CAAFAG) into their communities through safe release, access to gender-responsive services and psychosocial support, as well as durable, family-based solutions; and 3) Promote gender equality and empowerment through enhanced access of children to gender-responsive care, services and programs tailored to their specific needs. The project will build the capacity of support service providers and the resilience of communities most vulnerable to armed groups in northern Mozambique.

This project aims to increase access to justice and strengthen the judiciary in Ecuador, through a gender-sensitive and intersectional perspective and with particular attention to the challenges and experiences of women and girls who have experienced gender-based violence. Project activities include: (1) training and capacity-building for judges, lawyers, and other justice system operators; (2) optimizing rules, procedures, and across the different entities and operating environments of the Ecuadorian justice system; (3) equipping judicial operators with modernized tools and resources; and (4) expanding public access to information and supporting citizen input, oversight, and participation in the Ecuadorian justice system.

This project aims to address the livelihood challenges of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh by building their transferable vocational skills. Project activities include: (1) training 3,300 Rohingya refugees (40% women, 2% people with disabilities) to develop market-driven skills in key vocational areas. These areas include caregiving, cement and concrete works, electrical services, machine mechanics, and agriculture; (2) facilitating and increasing access to basic vocational training, focusing on accelerated adult learning, English language training, numeracy, and life skills. This supports labour mobility pathways in the case that beneficiaries move to a third country; and (3) working to increase access to sustainable, resilient and in-demand livelihood opportunities (wage and self-employment) in Cox’s Bazar camps and on Bhasan Char Island camps.
This project aims to directly benefits 11,000 Rohingya refugees.
