With GAC’s support, in a consortium led by Care Canada; Care, CLWR and Oxfam will respond to the emergency needs of people affected by the Sudan crisis in Sudan, Chad and South Sudan.

To support the federal government’s commitment to maintain a strong and effective publicly funded health care system through investments in emerging and demonstrated innovations in priority areas, such as palliative and end-of-life care, home and community care, mental health care and other federal, provincial-territorial and emerging priorities.

April 2025 – In Gaza, the shelter conditions for displaced populations are critically inadequate. Satellite imaging shows that 69% of total structures have been damaged or destroyed, with the governorates of North Gaza and Rafah (located in southern Gaza) having experienced the highest rise in damage (UNOSAT, Dec 2024). Across Gaza, individuals and families are currently housed primarily in schools, other public buildings, and makeshift camps, which are now severely overcrowded and operating beyond their intended capacities. Most shelters are made from inadequate materials, leading to poor air circulation and vulnerability to weather-related issues, which in turn pose significant health risks. Moreover, the overall transparency of shelter materials further compromises privacy and safety.

With DFATD`s support, CARE will save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity through Shelter interventions for vulnerable/crisis-affected people in Gaza, in particular women and girls.
Project activities include: (1) distributing shelter non-food item (SNFI) kits to vulnerable IDP and returnee households, particularly women and girls.; (2) providing cash-for-shelter to vulnerable IDP and returnee households, particularly women and girls.

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.

This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership (WVL) Program. It supports local and regional women’s rights organizations (WROs) and feminist networks working to promote the rights of women and girls and advance gender equality in developing countries. Understanding that WROs and their networks are critical change agents, the Program provides multi-year core funding and rapid responsive funding to strengthen institutional capacity and bolster feminist alliances. The Program continues to respond to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and movements worldwide. It recognizes that those groups working at intersecting forms of discrimination and in crisis- and conflict-affected countries are funded even less. The Renewed WVL Program includes enhanced support for WROs and women human rights defenders working in crisis- and conflict-affected settings and a more intentional approach to reaching structurally excluded groups. This includes but is not limited to women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous women and girls and young feminists.

This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership Program, which supports local and regional women’s organizations and networks that are working to promote women’s rights, and advance women’s empowerment and gender equality in developing countries. This is done by supporting their activities, building institutional capacity, and promoting network and alliance-building, as women’s rights and feminist organizations are critical agents of change. The Program also responds to the significant, globally recognized gap in funding and support to women’s rights organizations and movements around the world.

The project is facilitated by CARE and implemented under the leadership of Women-Lead Organizations and networks themselves, offering space for them to determine key priorities, selection processes, and results, and will remain flexible to the context and needs of the South Sudan women’s rights movement. This initiative will support an estimated 25 WLOs and 8 networks with multiyear, flexible, operational funding to strengthen their structure, enhance their management and programming capacities, all while improving their ability to sustain their organization's and service delivery with additional predictable funding. Additionally, 40 rapid response funds (RRFs) will be allocated to address emergent needs.
