Canada and GPE
Canada is a longstanding partner of GPE, having joined the partnership in 2007. To date, Canada has contributed more than US$480 million to the GPE fund.
At GPE’s 4th replenishment, Canada pledged CAD300,000,000 for 2021-2025. Canada’s contributions to GPE focus on girls’ education, a core priority for Canada in line with its feminist development policy.
Canada sits on GPE’s Finance and Risk Committee.
By linking development with inclusive trade and investment, we are helping to build the foundations for long-term prosperity. Canada is working with African partners to advance shared priorities—from education and health to climate resilience and inclusive economic growth. My visit to Ethiopia and Tanzania and participation in the G20 development ministers’ meeting in South Africa reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to meaningful collaboration and sustainable development that empower communities, especially women and youths, across the continent.
