What it does
The Department is supporting the efforts of Indigenous communities in sustainable economic development, sustainable food, social and green infrastructure, natural resources and environmental management. The Economic Development Capacity and Readiness program contributes by supporting Indigenous people and communities in advancing their business development and economic growth. The program provides support for the development of Indigenous capacity and the building of relationships with partners, through investments in the development of public and private sector partnerships, participation in targeted economic development opportunities, planning and economic development services and capacity building supports. These investments result in the leveraging investments, the establishment of regulatory certainty and the capacity to participate in economic opportunities, thereby, enabling Indigenous people and communities to achieve greater self-reliance and sustainable economic prosperity.
