Localization
Cooperation Canada’s localization work aims to promote equitable partnerships between global cooperation actors. Our work is bolstered by the growing mobilization of its members, sister coalitions around the world, and even government actors from various corners of the globe.

Our Current Efforts

Cooperation Canada has been working with its members, fellow coalitions, and political allies to effect legislative and regulatory changes that would promote ethical relationships and respectful collaboration between charities and partner organizations in Canada and abroad.
