Description 

The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) supports small projects proposed and implemented by local organizations in Syria. The CFLI contributes to the overall goal of reducing poverty by providing funding for small projects that offer direct social, economic or technical assistance to local populations. The CFLI retains the same broad themes set out since 2016, which align closely with the six pillars of the Feminist International Assistance Policy. This allows flexibility to respond to and focus on themes relevant to local needs. The six thematic priorities include: (1) contributing to inclusive governance, including diversity and LGBTQ2, democracy, human rights and the rule of law; (2) contributing to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls; (3) contributing to peace and security, with a focus on conflict prevention and building peace; (4) contributing to growth that works for everyone, including women’s economic rights, decent jobs and entrepreneurship, investing in the poorest and most vulnerable, and safeguarding economic gains; (5) contributing to environment and climate action, focusing on adaptation, mitigation and water management; and (6) contributing to human dignity, covering health, education and nutrition.

Expected results 

The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) contributes to poverty reduction through small projects, implemented primarily by local organizations, that offer local populations direct social, economic or technical assistance in Syria. By focusing on results related to inclusive governance, LGBTQ2, democracy, human rights, rule of law, gender equality, empowerment of women and girls, peace and security and women’s economic rights, CFLI projects also support Canada’s Foreign Policy priorities.
