Liberal foreign aid looks to bolster feminism, cut red tape for charities: Hussen
- International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen is focused on speeding up aid funding while promoting Canada's feminist approach to development abroad, which aims to create a more prosperous and inclusive world. This approach includes supporting grassroots women's rights organizations and working with other rich countries.
- Hussen is also undertaking a reform of the bureaucratic system used to approve funding requests for aid groups, aiming to make the process more efficient. This comes after criticism that the current system is cumbersome. The goal is to leverage international development dollars for sustainable socio-economic development.
- Despite a drop in funding in the past year, Canada remains among the top funders of development projects, and the new budget for international development demonstrates the government's commitment to addressing growing needs such as food security, refugees, and disasters.
