Implementing Canadian Ambitions: Supporting Global Development in Budget 2018

by | Oct 23, 2017 | Policy

This brief outlines some priority opportunities where Budget 2018 can make meaningful contributions to Canadian and global objectives in global development and humanitarian assistance – working in collaboration with partners to implement Canada’s new Feminist International Assistance Policy and improve the effectiveness of Canada’s development cooperation. The brief touches upon five areas where Canada can do this: through a ten-year timetable for increasing Canadian ODA; a strong focus on the poorest and most marginalized, in particular women and girls; a humanitarian response commensurate with growing needs; a commitment to new and additional climate finance; and greater transparency over spending.

The National Conversation on Canada and the SDGs was a day-long meeting hosted in Ottawa on June 27 by the Canadian Council for International Co-Operation (CCIC) and Community Foundations of Canada (CFC), along with a number of co-convenors.

Modern Charities, Ancient Rules: Public Policy Activities and Canada’s Global Development Sector

 

Submission to the Canada Revenue Agency’s Consultation on Charities’ Political Activities 
CCIC member organizations have been working together for many years to address charity regulation issues affecting the sector. Charity regulation reform and clarification have been identified by its membership as a priority to improve the enabling environment for Canadian organizations working to end global poverty and promote sustainable human development. CCIC frequently organizes workshops for members with charity law experts and has an active CRA Reference Group of member organizations dedicated to examining the legal framework for the sector. CCIC is also an active participant in other umbrella groups and coalitions that work collectively on issues of the legal and regulatory framework for the Canadian non-profit and charitable sector.

 

To further inform this submission, CCIC conducted two national surveys of international development and humanitarian assistance organizations in September 2016 and October 2016 to gather knowledge and views on (a) the rules related to charities’ ‘direction and control’ requirements and (b) ‘political activities’ respectively.

by | Jul 23, 2016 | Policy

This submission is informed by the policy work undertaken by CCIC in recent years, as well as by the many inputs developed and received around the International Assistance Review consultation process. CCIC’s staff participated in eight high-level and one working-level consultations hosted by Global Affairs Canada.

In addition, CCIC organized eight roundtables, including three roundtables solely for Chief Executive Officers and Executive Directors (representing 40 organizations) on Delivering Results, and an expert roundtable on Innovation co-organized with Grand Challenges Canada. CCIC staff also participated in 12 roundtable consultations organized by CCIC members. During the review process, CCIC provided over 20 summaries and analysis documents of the consultations for our organizational members, which many of them used to inform their own submissions.
