Description 

The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) is designed to support small projects proposed and implemented by local organizations in Morocco and Mauritania. In providing funding for small projects that offer direct social, economic, or technical assistance to local populations, the CFLI contributes to the overall goal of reducing poverty. The CFLI retains the same broad themes set out since 2016, which align closely with the 6 pillars of the Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP). This allows flexibility to respond to and focus on themes relevant to local needs. The six thematic priorities are as follows: (1) contributing to inclusive governance, including diversity and LGBTQ2, democracy, human rights and the rule of law; (2) contributing to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls; (3) contributing to peace & security, with a focus on conflict prevention and building peace; (4) contributing to growth that works for everyone, including women’s economic rights, decent jobs and entrepreneurship, investing in the poorest and most vulnerable, and safeguarding economic gains; (5) contributing to environment & climate action, focusing on adaptation and mitigation, as well as on water management; (6) contributing to human dignity, covering health, education and nutrition.
