Agreement Value:

$9,870,000.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 30, 2020 - Mar 31, 2022

Description:

This project aims to improve peace and stability in areas where the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) provides mediation, facilitation and dialogue between government authorities and armed groups. The project works to enable HD to fill a gap in the international field of conflict mediation by engaging with actors on issues that are difficult to reach, through traditional state diplomacy tools, or that fall outside of UN-mandated mediation processes. The project also aims to support the enhanced, meaningful participation of women in peace negotiations, and create inroads for women’s networks and organizations to have an active role in bringing peace to their regions.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) new channels of communication are established between conflict parties; (2) key conflict actors mandate HD to mediate or facilitate; (3) peace agreements and conflict management settlements are signed; (4) violence reduction and humanitarian access agreements are concluded; and (5) increased incorporation of the voices and concerns of women, youth and civil society in peace agreements and conflict management settlements/activities.

Program:

Peace and Stabilization Operations

Program Purpose:

The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
