Canada's aid sector is nervously awaiting this spring's federal budget amid fears of funding cuts that could require projects abroad to shut down.
"This lack of predictability is creating anxiety in the sector," said Louis Belanger, whose group Bigger Than Our Borders advocates on behalf of major Canadian charities.
And since then, Trudeau has announced large funding allocations related to a UN biodiversity summit, a new Indo-Pacific strategy and the Global Fund, which tackles diseases such as AIDS. Meanwhile, a global focus on suppressing COVID-19 came at the expense of other health programs, leading to a sudden backtracking on two decades of progress in fighting tuberculosis, cholera and extreme poverty.
Belanger said officials across federal departments seem most interested in development projects linked to three priorities: climate change; sexual and reproductive health; and paid and unpaid care work. Save The Children Canada said the government has been right to respond to emerging humanitarian crises, such as this week's earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
