The “Inspiring Action for Global Citizenship” Program aims to promote awareness of global issues among the Canadian public and relevant stakeholders across Canada. The Program will be implemented by the eight Provincial and regional Councils for International Cooperation in their respective province or region. Through its project, the Saskatchewan Council for International Cooperation (SCIC) seeks to increase the engagement of both the public and the stakeholders in Saskatchewan. More specifically, it aims to involve more Saskatchewan individuals, in particular youth, in international development by increasing their support for and participation in Canada's efforts to eradicate poverty in the world. This translates into a variety of integrated communication activities, such as the celebration of International Development Week, the organization of public information sessions and the development of education curriculums incorporating international cooperation. The project also seeks to improve the capacity of Saskatchewan civil society organizations working in international development to maximize their results, though diverse knowledge-sharing initiatives, including workshops, webinars and trainings.

Les résultats attendus de ce projet sont les suivants: 1) une contribution accrue des Canadiens, en particulier des jeunes, aux efforts de développement international du Canada en faveur de l'égalité des genres, de l'autonomisation des femmes et des filles, de la réduction de la pauvreté et des inégalités, et de la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable (ODD) ; 2) un engagement accru des Canadiens, en particulier des jeunes, dans le développement international et les grandes questions mondiales à l'appui des domaines d'action de la politique d'aide internationale féministe du Canada et des ODD ; et 3) une efficacité accrue des partenaires de développement canadiens dans la mise en œuvre de programmes novateurs et inclusifs qui font progresser l'égalité des genres à l'appui des champs d'action de la politique d'aide internationale féministe du Canada et des ODD.

Results achieved as of March 2024 include: (1) 74% of surveyed Public Engagement activity participants reported increased level of awareness of intersectionality on gender equality; (2) 80% of participants indicated increased motivation to take action on global issues, related to gender equality or the sustainable development goals (SDGs); and (3) 87% of surveyed educators are confident that they can deliver engaging lessons on gender equality, SDGs, and other related global or local issues.
