What it does

The program contributes to the achievement of departmental results under Core Responsibility 1 through multilateral policy – engaging with multilateral and global partners in order to promote Canada’s interests and values, provide Canadian leadership on key global issues and support the improvement of the multilateral system. The program delivers Canada’s assessed contributions to the UN and represents Canada at global fora and on the governance bodies of multilateral, global organizations and international financial institutions, including the UN and the Francophonie. Program staff, including staff at permanent missions in New York, Geneva, and Rome undertake activities such as: promoting Canadian positions in negotiations, decisions and documents, engaging in bilateral and multilateral policy dialogue with other donors, engaging in bilateral and multilateral dialogue with organizations, making interventions at fora and board meetings, providing guidance and technical comments on board documents, and providing technical support. In addition, this program supports Canada’s bid for a seat on the UN Security Council.
