Each year, the Collective Commitment Report represents a tangible commitment by organizations in Canada’s international cooperation sector to reflect on, identify and address systemic racism in the sector. The 2023 Collective Commitment Report serves as a check-in, tracking the progress made by signatory organizations in advancing ARC commitments and implementing recommendations for equitable transformation. 

The findings of the Collective Commitment Report are based on answers from organizations in Canada’s international cooperation sector who responded to a survey on the state of anti-racism practices in their work. The report tracks progress and draws on evidence to identify gaps and opportunities for anti-racist change in the sector.
