优先领域

基于性别的分析（GBA）

2017年，加拿大通过了一项《女权主义国际援助政策》，推动性别平等和赋予妇女和女童权力，这是减少贫困并建设一个更具包容性、和平与繁荣世界的最有效途径。根据这项政策，基于性别的分析将成为CFLI项目申请流程的必要组成部分。这一变化的目的是提升CFLI项目性别平等的成果。

基于性别的分析将要求申请人：

考虑他们项目旨在解决的问题对妇女、女童、男性和男童的不同影响，包括确保项目不会造成任何伤害；
在项目书制定过程中咨询妇女和/或女孩的意见；以及
确保妇女/女孩的意见为项目设计提供信息。
咨询内容包括但不限于：与当地社区的女性和女童交谈；与服务于当地社区的民间社会组织里工作的女性和其他个人交谈；对那些了解当地社区的女性和男性决策者和变革者交谈。
如果未完成性别分析，则可能会影响对您项目书的考虑。

Program description

The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada's thematic priority areas for engagement. The program is directed at projects conceived and designed predominantly by local partners. Projects are selected and approved by the relevant Canadian embassy or high commission. The CFLI also serves to support positive bilateral relations between Canada and recipient countries and their civil societies, by deepening contacts and supporting local endeavours.

The average CFLI contribution is in the range of $10,000 - $40,000 Canadian Dollars. Consult the currency converter for local currency equivalents. Please note that all contributions are made in Canadian dollars and then converted to the local currency.


How to apply

All projects must be completed between the date of signature of the Contribution Agreement and February 28, 2023 (and for projects which span 2 years, they should be completed by February 28, 2024).
The deadline for submission is April 20, 2022 at 23:59 (GMT+8). Applications submitted after this deadline will not be considered. Proposals should be submitted electronically to the following email: BEJING.CanadaFund-FondsCanadien@international.gc.ca
Only those proposals using the designated application form and including the required budget document will be considered.
For more information on the types of activities and costs that are eligible for CFLI funding, please refer to the list of CFLI approved activities and costs.
Proposals must be completed in English, French or Chinese.
Project proposals must explicitly answer all questions in the CFLI project application form, including the required gender-based analysis. The proposed project budget should summarize the proposed activities and associated costs.
Applications will be assessed for approval on their merits by a selection committee.
Due to the large number of applicants, only the successful candidates will be contacted.
To obtain an application form or for questions about the application process, please contact the CFLI Coordinator by email at BEJING.CanadaFund-FondsCanadien@international.gc.ca
Project applications are kept on file at missions in accordance with Global Affairs Canada's information management policies.
Two-year programming
Projects spanning 2 fiscal years (April 2022 to March 2024) may be permitted depending on the project objectives and the complexity of activities.
Organizations eligible to apply for CFLI funding
Eligible recipients include:

Local non-governmental, community and not-for-profit organizations,
Local academic institutions working on local projects,
International non-governmental organizations working on local development activities,
Intergovernmental, multilateral and regional institutions, organizations and agencies working on local development activities,
Municipal, regional or national government institutions or agencies of the recipient country working on local projects, and
Canadian non-governmental and not-for-profit organizations that are working on local development activities.
The majority of CFLI funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations may be eligible for funding, provided they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with the objectives of the CFLI. Similarly, municipal, regional and national government institutions may receive funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature. The CFLI is always looking to fund innovative projects that deliver measurable results.



Thematic priorities

All projects must align with at least one of the following CFLI thematic priorities:

gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
inclusive governance, including diversity, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
human dignity, covering health, education and nutrition.
growth that works for everyone, including women's economic rights, decent jobs and entrepreneurship, investing in the poorest and most vulnerable, and safeguarding economic gains.
environment and climate action focusing on adaptation and mitigation, as well as on water management.
Gender-based analysis
In 2017, Canada adopted its Feminist International Assistance Policy to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls as the most effective way to reduce poverty and build a more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous world. In alignment with this policy, the CFLI project application process now requires a gender-based analysis (GBA). The purpose of this change is to enhance the gender equality outcomes of the CFLI program.



A GBA will require applicants to:

consider how women, girls, men, and boys are affected differently by the problem their project is aiming to address, ensuring, at the same time, that the project does not cause harm;
consult women and/or girls in the development of their project proposal; and
ensure that the views of those women and/or girls inform the project's design.
Note that consultations can include, but are not limited to, speaking to women and girls from the local community, women and other individuals who work for civil society organizations that have worked in the local community and female and male decision and change makers who have knowledge of the local community.

Inadequate completion of a GBA may affect the consideration of your proposal.
