Promoting sustainable results and engagement in international cooperation.
The Spur Change program, was a 7-year capacity-building and knowledge-sharing initiative, that provided support for Canadian SMOs in the planning, implementation and monitoring of development projects. The program was implemented by the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation in collaboration with the other provincial and regional Canadian councils. The project’s activities aimed to:
- increase effectiveness of Canadian small and medium organizations(SMOs) to deliver sustainable development results in support of Canada's Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) and the sustainable development goals (SDGs);
- increase collaboration of Canadian SMOs in international development; and
- increase engagement of Canadians, particularly youth, as global citizens in support of FIAP and the SDGs.
The program was funded by Global Affairs Canada as part of the small and medium organizations for impact and innovation initiative.
