Description
1) Objective
The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada’s thematic priority areas for engagement. The program is directed at projects conceived and designed predominantly by local partners. Projects are selected and approved by the relevant Canadian embassy or high commission. The CFLI also serves to support positive bilateral relations between Canada and recipient countries and their civil societies, by deepening contacts and supporting local endeavours.
All projects must align with at least one of the following CFLI thematic priorities:
- Democratic Governance and Human Rights: To promote the fight against corruption and enhance transparency, linking these efforts to the protection and guarantee of fundamental rights.
- Peace and Security: To foster the comprehensive prevention of insecurity, including the strengthening of the social fabric and community capacities to develop coordination mechanisms through multi-stakeholder and institutional collaboration.
- Prosperity: To strengthen the associative ecosystem to facilitate producers’ access to local and international markets, including the benefits provided by trade agreements.
