Inter-Council Network (ICN)

The Inter-Council Network (ICN) is a coalition of the eight Provincial and Regional Councils for International Cooperation. The Councils are committed to global social justice and social change, and represent over 350 diverse civil society organizations from across Canada. The ICN provides a national forum in which the Councils collaborate for improved effectiveness and identify common priorities for collective action. Rooted in communities across Canada, we are leaders in public engagement at a local and regional level, and we are recognized for bringing regional knowledge and priorities to the national level.

The Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT)

The Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT) is designed to support Canadian small and medium-sized organizations (SMOs) testing innovative solutions that advance gender equality in the Global South. FIT’s goal is to cultivate a working environment in which SMOs are empowered to experiment, fail, adapt and try again. FIT will provide successful applicants with $150K-$250 K over a 6-15 month period to test their solutions in partnership with local organizations. The multi-year program aims to fund 50-70 initiatives overall.
