Foreign Affairs committee  This $100 million is part of the 10-year commitment on global health in SRHR. This brings us to $1.4 billion per year starting this fiscal year. This $100 million will go to a wide range of priorities on SRHR and global health. The range of partners that we've worked with are the

Foreign Affairs committee  Sure. This $7 million per year would start the second round of a five-year cycle of the women's voice and leadership program. It will continue to support women's rights organizations, expanding our support in conflict and crisis-affected contexts and going beyond and challenging

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you. This $430 million will go four specific projects, some of which include agriculture. The first is working with the Inter-American Development Bank. This is a climate resilience accelerator fund. This would bring together a number of donors offering concessional financ

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  These projects for which we're asking for additional funding this year are in the process of being negotiated. I'd have to get you the specific details. We have literally hundreds of projects in this portfolio. I can give you a specific example in writing.

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  Most of the $430 million that we're seeking this year is not agriculture-related, but climate-smart agriculture is one of our four main thematic areas in the climate financing program, so it's absolutely a major priority for us. In 2022-23, we spent approximately $230 million on

Foreign Affairs committee  I do not. Thank you.

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you. I'll just respond with what we're doing now. In the West Bank and Gaza, on a regular basis, we spend $55 million a year. Of that, $35 million is humanitarian, and of that, $25 million goes to UNRWA for its work—

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm answering the question. There's $20 million in development assistance. In addition, the government announced $60 million after the war began for humanitarian assistance. The focus of Canada—and, frankly, of all other donors—is on humanitarian assistance at the moment, becaus

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  In my bailiwick, I focus on humanitarian assistance, so I have not been part of that.

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much for the question. The vast majority of our aid in Ethiopia goes through the World Food Programme. We were in close contact with them throughout the period of their review. We are satisfied with the outcomes of the review and the aid is flowing again.

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  I would say that the next panellists probably also have something more to say on that.

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  Sure. What I would add is the value of both humanitarian and development assistance funding to the social support systems of the host countries, Jordan and Lebanon in particular. Our funding, along with that of other donors, has gone to support, as Shirley said, education syste

December 6th, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  One of the targets I did not mention when I talked about the mitigation-adaptation split is that 80% of our work in the climate finance portfolio targets gender equality. We have already exceeded that target at year three of the new five-year investment. That informs all of our

May 2nd, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you. I'm going to answer a question that's actually related to that. It was asked earlier, but I didn't get a chance to answer it. About 25% of our international assistance is delivered by the multilateral channel and 75% is delivered bilaterally. There was a question on Ca

May 2nd, 2023Committee meeting

Peter MacDougall

Foreign Affairs committee  In 2021, the government renewed its commitment to climate finance, doubling it from $2.65 billion to $5.3 billion. We're now in year three of those investments. The first round of climate finance from 2012 to 2020 resulted in significant mitigation, offsetting 228 megatonnes of
