The Inter-Council Network is a coalition of the eight Provincial and Regional Councils for International Cooperation, committed to global social justice and social change.
The Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT) is designed to support Canadian small and medium-sized organizations (SMOs) testing innovative solutions that advance gender equality in the Global South. FIT’s goal is to cultivate a working environment in which SMOs are empowered to experiment, fail, adapt and try again.
The Spur Change program is a 5-year initiative of the Inter-council Network (ICN), funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC), aiming to increase the effectiveness of SMOs to deliver sustainable results in support of the Feminist International Assistance Policy and the Sustainable Development Goals; support educators in engaging school communities on global issues; and foster youth action on the Sustainable Development Goals.
With the growing demand and interest in ethics, transparency, and accountability of non-profit organizations in the international cooperation sector, panelists discussed ways to restore public trust in good governance and international development.
ICN, along with CAIDP, CAN-Rac, Cooperation Canada, and CanWaCH presented a bilingual Town Hall with the Honourable Karina Gould, Minister of International Development on November 19 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. ET. Watch recording here.
