We were proud to meet today with Ahmed Hussen to share ways that Canada can continue impacting countries in need — including by topping up funding for UNFPA Supplies, continuing strong support for International Fund for Agricultural Development, and increasing #CanadianAid over multiple years. Thank you, Minister! pic.x.com/QCE9UJZQjO

Great to see Canada joining the World Bank in committing to pause debt repayment when vulnerable countries are hit by natural disasters! This sends an important signal to other creditors and helps advance the #BridgetownInitiative. 👏🏻👏🏻 cbc.ca/news/politics/…

It's #IDW2024 and we're joining 100 Canadian organizations to promote a message to Justin Trudeau. “Our recent record on international assistance spending falls short of Canada’s ambitions.” #Budget2024 is your chance to show ambition again. More 👉 biggerthanourborders.ca/s/Secure-the-F…

As countries like France & Germany are cutting aid, Canada commits an additional $350M for humanitarian aid in #Budget2024. We join 100+ #CanadianAid orgs in welcoming this boost and hope to see Canada carry this momentum into its G7 presidency in 2025. cooperation.ca/canadian-aid-s…

We were honoured to join Canadian friends and partners in welcoming @Gavi's new CEO Dr Sania Nishtar to Ottawa! Since 2000, Gavi has brought life saving immunization to over 1 billion kids globally. This year they'll call on governments like Canada to finance their programs to 2030.

While other countries have reduced funding to #endpolio, Canada continues to step up — now with a new $151 million pledge! 👏 Thank you Ahmed Hussen & Justin Trudeau for bringing Canada's total funding for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to over $1 billion since 2000!

Canada has a new Prime Minister-designate — congrats to Mark Carney! During the leadership campaign debate, Carney talked up maintaining Canada’s international assistance, in contrast to President Trump’s dismantling of USAID. We hope to see all parties make that commitment.

Civil society organisations play a unique and vital role in supporting @Gavi’s mission to leave no-one behind with immunisation. I met with global health champions and experts from the Government of Canada and Canadian Civil Society Organisations including ONE Canada,

Congrats to Minister Mélanie Joly who on top of being Minister of Foreign Affairs now adds International Development to her portfolio under new PM Mark Carney. In this moment of global upheaval, aid and development must be part of any serious Canadian foreign policy.

Congrats PM Mark Carney! This is a big moment for Canada to bring leadership & ambition to the world stage, and we look forward to working with you. We're thankful for your pledge to protect #CanadianAid, and are ready to re-engage Conservatives to discuss its value and impact.

Congrats Julie Dabrusin! One of the questions that may quickly cross your desk is how will Canada follow up its 2021 international climate finance commitment, coming due this year? With the #G7 & #COP30 on the horizon, Canada can set the tone for the world to follow!

Thank you, Canada, for being one of the earliest commitment makers to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance this year! We welcomed the govt's 12.5% increased commitment back in March, and are grateful for Mark Carney's commitment to protect and sustain #CanadianAid for those most in need around the world. 🇨🇦
