Canadian Civil Society Organizations and Human Rights and Global Justice (2010-2011)

This project aims to strengthen the capacity of Canadian civil society organizations (CSOs) to inform Canadian policy on human rights and global justice. The Canadian Council for International Co-operation (CCIC) receives core funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). This grant will provide additional funds for research in Canada and the global South, as well as consultation, learning, publication and dissemination. Specifically, the grant will allow the CCIC and its members to conduct timely policy research on selected issues central to ending poverty and injustice, build stronger knowledge and policy partnerships with global CSO networks, and engage Canadians, particularly young people, as global citizens.
