Grants and Contributions

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

A comprehensive Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework will be developed, validated and made available to the research community. This framework will integrate open source tools to evaluate carbon conversion technologies based on three criteria:
•Scientific and technical value of the proposed technology, morespecifically proposed novel materials for CO2 conversion should besupported by high quality peer-reviewed scientific publications;
•Economic impact of the proposed technology including product(s)unit cost(s); and
•GHG impact (Global Warming Potential/GWP) using LCAmethods.
The proposed framework will provide tools to evaluate the cost and GHG impact of each CO2 conversion pathways and identify critical development gaps allowing for increasing TRL in the future. The team will also build the back end (database, tools and webserver) and front end (user interface) to support the proposed integrated platform. The Recipient will work in
collaboration with the University of Toronto and the University of Alberta on this collaborative project with the NRC.
Project Rationale:
The interest in CO2 conversion technologies

This project aims to achieve equitable, quality education for girls and boys, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable in developing countries, as well as in conflict, crisis-affected and humanitarian settings. This project supports the implementation of the goals and objectives described in UNGEI’s Strategic Directions 2018-2023 document. As a leader in gender equality and education, UNGEI works to increase awareness and participation of decision-makers in gender-responsive education sector planning, and increase the data available to support the need for gender-responsive quality education in low-income countries.

Project activities include: (1) organizing online and in-person learning events; (2) engaging in participatory institutional capacity gender reviews of selected ministries of education, leading to development and sharing of tools, information, models and other evidence-based approaches to gender-responsive education through online and other channels; (3) influencing national education actors to improve their delivery of gender-responsive education through advocacy and capacity building in education governance and leadership; and (4) increasing access to evidence-based approaches to strengthen gender-responsive education systems, particularly for crisis- and conflict affected, fragile and humanitarian settings.

P007252001: This project aims to contribute to improving equitable education for vulnerable girls and women in targeted areas in Myanmar, Niger, and Sudan. It seeks to increase community-led actions in breaking barriers to gender-equal education while improving the availability of inclusive education systems. The project also increases access to learning opportunities for livelihood and life skills.
Project activities include: (1) delivering women leaders leadership training to promote integrating women’s education, leadership, and participation in community decision-making and peace processes; (2) establishing the Innovative Teachers Establishing Education Services program to provide localized community-based, inclusive, gender and climate-responsive education to out-of-school girls; (3) developing localized curriculum for livelihoods and life skills training on Early Childhood Care and Development for out-of-school girls and women; (4) providing small grants for community groups to support community-led gender-transformative action that addresses barriers to women’s and girls’ education; and (5) supporting peer networks managed by grassroots women organizations. These networks are safe spaces for confidential services in sexual and reproductive health and rights, sexual and gender-based violence, child, early, and forced marriage, and women trafficking and drug use.

P007252002: These activities will provide assistance to crisis-affected people, mitigate protection risks and respond to protection needs through humanitarian action in support of two of the main COVID-19 related strategies in the Sudan Humanitarian Plan for 2021.
COVID-related activities include: A) Provide support to Kerenik isolation centre and health units in the targeted villages; B) Conduct gender-responsive awareness campaigns about Covid-19 prevention measures; C) Build capacity of local community groups and leaders and health workers on Covid-19 preventive measures; D) Provide cash transfers to vulnerable households for basic needs and education; E) Strengthen community protection structures on protection and gender-sensitive approaches and referral pathways; F) Support community protection structures to strengthen monitoring and support for household most vulnerable to COVID-19.

This project involves a partnership to conserve a full set of the Ambrose F. Church maps (1864–1888), showing 18 counties of Nova Scotia. The current project involves the first five maps. Designed for topographical reference, the maps also include head-of-household names and precise locations for all homes in late 19th-century Nova Scotia.

The surviving maps are small in number and mostly deteriorating. Following conservation and preservation, they can be digitized and linked (to census data, genealogical information, other map overlays, etc.) and extended across time. The result will be a huge asset for Canadians researching family history in Nova Scotia, and a major resource for social history scholars.

The Illaiqpik Project will be directed by the Inuvialuit Game Council (IGC) and administered by the Inuvialuit Traditional and Local Knowledge Coordinator at the Joint Secretariat.

The IGC uses Inuvialuit traditional knowledge (in the form of oral histories, audio interviews, transcriptions, maps and reports) for much of its decision making, and currently there is little capacity to store and organize the existing information.

The purpose of this project is to collect and organize Inuvialuit-owned traditional knowledge interviews and oral histories, and build an in-house repository for the various Inuvialuit groups/co-management boards to access for decision making, and to protect Inuvialuit cultural heritage.
