Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announces Canada's first feminist International Assistance Policy, with a focus on gender equality and women's rights, support for local women’s organizations, and a commitment to a minimum of 50% of bilateral aid directed to Sub-Saharan African countries by 2021-22. A bold new vision and approach. GRAN applauds this new vision and looks forward to seeing new resources to match this ambitious plan.
“This is an important first big step towards changing the way Canada’s delivers aid—from treating women as beneficiaries of aid to partners for change,” said Nobel Women’s Initiative’s Acting Executive Director, Rachel Vincent, “Canada is showing the world that investing in women and gender equality is an essential to bring about peace and security around the globe—and that benefits everyone, including Canadians.”
