Second joint sector call on COVID-19

Please join CCIC, the Canadian Association for International Development Professionals (CAIDP), the Climate Action Network (CAN-Rac), the Inter-Council Network (ICN) and the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children's Health (CanWaCH) for a call on Tuesday. On this call we will share resources and discuss short, medium and long-term responses to the crisis. We also plan to discuss the needs of the sector moving forward on COVID-19 and how we approach government in advocating for those needs. 

Can't make it? By registering, you will receive a recording of the call.

As you may have seen both Imagine Canada and War Child Canada have shared open letters (linked above) on the impacts of COVID-19 on the charitable sector and the needs of organizations in this context. We are very supportive of these initiatives and will be leading a complementary effort to express the needs of the international development and humanitarian sector through an open letter to the government. In the letter we will outline the current and potential impacts of COVID-19 on the sector and urge the government to take action. In order for us to best understand your needs and to make a statement that is reflective of the sector, please complete this short questionnaire to tell us about how COVID-19 will impact your organization and what your organizational needs are. 

Please also continue to share resources and your response to the crisis through the shared resource document here and the questionnaire here.
