Engage Government

Cooperation Canada plays an important role in advocating for and on behalf of its members with the Government of Canada. In addition, Cooperation Canada collaborates with Global Affairs Canada as a strategic partner to support an enabling environment for the sector, demonstrates sector leadership and works to advance sector priorities. In this regard, we carry out regular engagements with Global Affairs Canada, including collaboration on an annual civil society-Global Affairs Canada dialogue, work with the Sustainable Development Goals Unit at Employment and Social Development Canada, support formal and informal government consultations with the sector and strategically engage with parliamentarians and senators.
