Development Finance & Policy

These decisions influence not only how much funding is available, but also who sets priorities, who benefits, and how sustainable and inclusive development efforts can be.

Cooperation Canada works with its members to strengthen policymaking and to advance transparent, accountable and predictably financed systems, while strengthening Canada’s commitment to gender equality as a foundational objective of international assistance.

Through convening, research and advocacy, we bring together diverse perspectives to inform national and global policy discussions. Our work helps ensure that Canadian international assistance is more effective, equitable and responsive to the realities of partners around the world.

By engaging directly with decision-makers and contributing evidence-based analysis, we support policies that prioritize poverty reduction and upholding human rights.

For members, this work creates meaningful opportunities to inform and stay on top of evolving development finance priorities. Ultimately, Cooperation Canada’s efforts help build a more coherent, inclusive and accountable international cooperation system that delivers tangible results for communities globally.
