Within Canadas priority areas, in 2013-2014 the High Commission of Canada in Canberra will focus on supporting projects in three key areas: Governance and Democracy; Womens Empowerment and Gender Equality; and Sustainable Economic Development. Emphasis on project selection is placed on building local NGO capacity, and projects linked to creating opportunities for children and youth. In addition, we encourage project proposals focused on cultural preservation, which is an important aspect of life in the Pacific. The maximum contribution to any one project is C$50,000 but the majority of projects we support fall in the C$5,000 to C$30,000 range. We encourage project proposals focused on the above mentioned areas and will also consider project proposals with broader regional reach.
