What it does
The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) is a contribution program that contributes to Canada’s thematic priorities for international assistance. The program is delivered through Canada’s missions abroad in countries that are eligible for official development assistance. Through contribution agreements, the CFLI provides financial assistance to cover all or part of the costs of relatively modest projects conceived, designed and implemented mainly by local authorities, institutions or organizations. The program aims to assist in the advocacy of Canada’s values and interests, and to strengthen Canada’s bilateral relations with foreign countries and their civil societies. The CFLI also seeks to provide humanitarian assistance in the immediate aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies.
