Grants and Contributions

The Roads Development Impacts (RDI) initiative launched by GNWT provides targeted funding to advance understanding of the cumulative effects of all-season and winter road development on caribou, water, and fish in northern environments. The initiative aims to inform environmental assessments and regulatory decision-making by producing practical, evidence-based guidance that integrates scientific research and Traditional Knowledge. This will be achieved through funding projects that will contribute to a collaborative synthesis report and engage in coordinated activities, including workshops and joint reporting, to support decision-maker needs.

Needs assessments rely heavily on the analysis conducted by partners such as IMPACT Initiatives. Further, the rapid expansion of data availability and use has created challenges for the humanitarian community in assessing which data points are meaningful, useful and relevant.

IMPACT Initiatives is the largest independent data provider in contexts of crisis.

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.

October 2023 - On April 15, 2023, armed clashes broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, leading to mass displacement within and outside of Sudan, as well as significant protection violations and a lack of access to basic food, water, health, nutrition and other services for vulnerable people. The clashes have increased humanitarian needs within Sudan and its neighbouring countries, many of which had been experiencing protected crises before the outbreak of this conflict.

This project supports independent third-party monitoring of Canada's 2023 humanitarian assistance funding in Chad, South Sudan and Sudan. Findings aim to support Global Affairs Canada (GAC) in better understanding the impact and efficiency of these programs and ensure their implementation as planned.

Project activities include designing monitoring activities across several programmatic areas. These include food distribution, integrated nutrition, protection, shelter or non-food items or camp management, water, sanitation and hygiene, transportation or multi-sectoral support.
