According to the World Giving Index, Canada ranked as the eighth most charitable country,[1] allocating approximately $6.4 billion equivalent to 0.27% of its Gross national income [2] In 2021-2022, Canada’s Peace and Stabilization Operations Program provided $138.9 million to promote peace and stability in fragile and conflict-affected states including Ukraine, Cameroon, Colombia, Burkina Faso, Haiti, Iraq, Mali, Myanmar, and South Sudan. Canada has also supported the provision of high-quality, specialized peace operations training and capacity building that incorporates gender equality.[3]

Canada provides foreign aid is to help alleviate poverty in developing countries. By providing financial assistance, development projects, and educational programs, Canada aims to improve the living conditions of people living in poverty and help them become self-sufficient. This can ultimately lead to economic growth and stability in these countries, which can benefit not only the recipients of aid but also the global community as a whole. Canada’s funding has supported more than 1,800 women’s rights organizations that are promoting gender equality and advancing the rights of women and girls.

By supporting programs that focus on promoting good governance, gender equality, and civil liberties, Canada aims to create a more just and equal world. Through these efforts, Canada hopes to empower individuals and communities to have a voice in their own governance and improve their quality of life.

In addition to providing foreign aid for humanitarian and development purposes, Canada also uses foreign aid as a tool for diplomatic relations as it does with his peacekeeping efforts. By building strong partnerships with other countries through aid programs. Foreign aid can also help Canada advance its own interests and values by fostering positive relationships with other nations.
