What it does
Office of Human Rights, Freedom and Inclusion (OHRFI) Programming addresses Canada’s commitment to promote and protect democracy, recognizing that the global human rights architecture that has flourished since WWII, as well as democracy as the ideal political system to uphold these rights and freedoms, are increasingly at risk.
This includes, through the Promoting and Protecting Democracy Fund, advancing democratic values, processes, and institutions and protecting them from various threats, such as those posed in cyber-space. This Fund aims to support initiatives that will reinforce democratic practices such as civic engagement, building societal resilience, and creating inclusive and gender-sensitive public institutions, while combatting disinformation. It also supports electoral processes, including electoral observation, and serves as a focal point for election observation and democratic support at Global Affairs Canada.
