Global Centre for Pluralism

Published purpose

This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Global Centre for Pluralism. Global Centre for Pluralism uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate. The Global Centre for Pluralism pursues its mandate through four core functions: (1) sustaining an international policy dialogue on pluralism in governance, elections, judicial systems, media and education to help factions integrate in states at risk; (2) providing programs for academic and professional development; (3) fostering research and learning on pluralism; and (4) promoting and sharing the results of research and learning on pluralism. These activities target the developing world, offering a platform from which existing organizations and experts on pluralism in Canada can reach an international audience. Canada’s support to Global Centre for Pluralism contributes to advance the development of free, well-governed, pluralistic societies in selected countries and regions around the world, with a focus on developing countries.
