Wednesday, June 30th, 2021 Global Democracy Dialogue : A New Architecture for Canadian Democracy Aid?

DateTimeLocation
Wednesday, June 30, 20211:00PM - 2:30PMOnline Event, External Online Event

Description

Canada has committed to expand the availability of Canadian expertise for democracy strengthening but not defined the architecture to house and nourish that expertise. The success of Canada’s renewed support for global democracy depends on the infrastructure it will build to direct and guide this vision. In our upcoming dialogue, the leadership of USG agencies for international democracy assistance come together to discuss the rich and complex landscape of U.S. democracy support. What can American structures suggest for Canada’s path forward:

How can Canada turn its aspiration for a new Canadian democratic development institution into reality?
How can it build expertise and institutional resources for democracy support within the public service?
How can the government or a dedicated institution engage civil society in developing and delivering Canada’s enhanced democracy support efforts?

This event is organized and sponsored by The Parliamentary Centre
