Foreign Affairs committee  With the announcement of the funding for sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as the broadening of the definition of maternal, newborn, and child health, our development officers overseas, the ones we have at headquarters and our partners have been very active in the communities and countries in which we work to rebuild that trust and to ensure that the full suite of that programming is available.

Foreign Affairs committee  Unfortunately, I don't have that information.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes.

Foreign Affairs committee  I unfortunately don't have a breakdown by—

Foreign Affairs committee  I would have to come back to you on that. I don't have any information on whether there's been an evaluation of Canada Corps, but I can come back to you.

Foreign Affairs committee  Again, I don't have that information. One of the priority areas is inclusive governance, and so I could roughly—

Foreign Affairs committee  It would be—

Foreign Affairs committee  That issue came up, I think, last year. I can't remember the organization that raised it with us, but we are reviewing our policy on that.

Foreign Affairs committee  As a result of the policy, I think what we're looking at is how we engage effectively with Canadian organizations. How do we make it easier for them to interact with us as an organization? How do we simplify working with them? We do the fiduciary element; that's the part that I know best.

Foreign Affairs committee  Not that I'm aware of, no.

Foreign Affairs committee  Let me start by talking about partners. Internally, we have a vetting process for any partner we work with. We vet them in terms of their capacity. In order to know if they can actually deliver on the project that we're potentially going to fund, we do a rigorous due diligence process in terms of their financial capacity and technical expertise.

Foreign Affairs committee  Over the last couple of years, we've tried to diversify the number of partners that we work with, especially with some of the smaller Canadian organizations, the ones in Saskatchewan and all over Canada that you're talking about. We've tried to do two things. One is, you refer to it as a contract, but it's how we do the engagement with them in terms of the agreement.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'll bet you that 46-page document was written by me. No, it wasn't. As I said before, what we want to do is make sure that we enable organizations of all sizes to deliver on development projects and work with the department, but that we don't overburden them unnecessarily. We are looking at how we can streamline our requirements.

Foreign Affairs committee  That was feedback the department received very clearly through the feminist international assistance policy consultation. It was very clear that our processes can be complex and cumbersome on partners. We also want to make sure that, yes, our processes are streamlined, but that we've done adequate due diligence at the same time.

Foreign Affairs committee  We were talking earlier about some of the performance indicators, and underpinning that is an enormous results framework. We do have experts in results-based management at the project level. That all rolls up into the indicators that we publish in the departmental results report.
