Trade creates wealth and jobs, and Canada is committed to ensuring that everyone can share in that prosperity, including traditionally under-represented groups such as women, Indigenous peoples and small and medium-sized enterprises.
In 2002, governments, civil society, technical agencies and the private sector came together to create a new mechanism to pool resources in order to fund prevention and treatment programs to end AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics.
Canada is at the forefront of international efforts to improve the health of the poorest and most vulnerable, especially women, girls and adolescent girls. This is why Canada is joining forces with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to end these epidemics for good by increasing its contribution to the Fund.
To thrive in today’s global economy, young Canadians need to be adaptable, resilient, and able to work with people from different backgrounds. When we encourage Canadian youth to study abroad, and when we attract international students to study in Canada, we foster important connections and create good-quality jobs. Together with the provinces and territories, the Government of Canada plays a key role in helping to shape Canada’s world-class education system.
The Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister of International Development and Minister for Women and Gender Equality, will announce Canada’s pledge to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria for 2020-2022.
