    <title>Engineers Without Borders – Volunteer Sending 2015-2020</title>
    <description>This Volunteer Cooperation Program supports approximately 240 volunteer assignments. The Program aims to: (1) provide support to increase the capacity of public service institutions and small and growing businesses to innovate, adapt to changing circumstances, and incorporate gender equality and environmental sustainability; (2) assist high potential leaders in developing countries, especially women, to increase their ability to adapt and innovate; (3) improve the capacity of developing country partners to develop and deploy innovations for sustainable development results; and (4) enhance young Canadians’ awareness of and ability to engage in sustainable development efforts, particularly within the engineering sector.</description>

    <expectedResults>The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (1) increased capacity of developing country partners to deliver sustainable development results, in response to local needs, by making use of the skills and expertise of qualified Canadian volunteers; and (2) enhanced participation of Canadians in Canada’s sustainable development efforts.</expectedResults>
    <resultsAchieved>Results achieved as of March 2020 include: (1) the recruitment of 249 Canadian volunteers across seven countries to work with 38 local partners, serving 1,527,305 direct beneficiaries and 4,233,742 people indirectly with improved economic opportunities, water and sanitation services, access to information and participation in decision-making; (2) the placement of 47 African innovators and high-potential leaders in one-month Canadian job placements, workshops and training sessions;  and (3) 2,315 events, reaching 130,157 Canadians, were held across the country on EWB’s work and the efforts of the Government of Canada in international development. These results have contributed to the increased capacity of project country partners to achieve sustainable development results that meet local needs.</resultsAchieved>
