This assessed contribution represents Canada’s long-term support to the Commonwealth Foundation. The Commonwealth Foundation uses these funds and other members’ funding, to achieve its mandate. The Foundation’s mandate includes: (1) supporting civic voices to share their stories; (2) learning and acting together; and (3) influencing the institutions that shape people’s lives. The current Strategic Plan (2017 to 2021) orients the work of the Foundation around four programs of action: (1) participatory governance and gender; (2) Commonwealth writers; (3) Grants; and (4) Knowledge, learning and communications.

The expected outcomes as stated by the Commonwealth Foundation include: (1) policy, law and government institutions are more effective contributors to development through the influence of civic voices; (2) civic voices are more effective in holding institutions to account; and (3) public discourse is shaped by less-heard narratives.
