| Project Detail |
This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). CFGB uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate. CFGB’s mandate is to reduce hunger and malnutrition in developing countries. Canadas support to CFGB helps provide food assistance to minimize people’s suffering in emergency and acute hunger situations worldwide and help communities rebuild their livelihoods. Project activities include: (1) providing food, vouchers, and cash to households that have been affected by a humanitarian crisis and do not have sufficient access to nutritious food; (2) providing agriculture inputs and related supports; (3) improving gender equity in community advisory committees and including members of marginalized groups; (4) increasing awareness and support by decision-makers and key influencers of relevant and practical public policy proposals to reduce hunger and prevent and address humanitarian crises; and (5) providing educational and information materials on global hunger and humanitarian crises. |
