This grant represents Canada’s support to the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC)’s Joint Support Team. The GPEDC is an innovative and inclusive global platform established in 2012 to promote the quality and effectiveness of development co-operation. The mandate of the GPEDC is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development by promoting effective development cooperation geared towards ending all forms of poverty, reducing inequality and ensuring that no one is left behind. The GPEDC is governed by a Steering Committee with representatives from a wide range of stakeholders. Canada joined the Steering Committee in January 2017 and represents a constituency that includes Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) provide secretariat support to the GPEDC, through a Joint Support Team which helps implement the GPEDC’s Programme of Work.
