Official Development Assistance (ODA) Overseas Aid Budget
According to the United Nations, over 1.3 billion people live in multidimensional poverty — lacking access to basic health care, education, and adequate living standards. Nearly 85% of those affected live in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. As a member of the G7, one of the world’s most prosperous groups of nations, Canada has a moral and strategic responsibility to help reduce global poverty and inequality.

Canada’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) is a key tool in achieving this. ODA helps promote peace and security, respond to humanitarian crises, support gender equality, improve global health, and reduce extreme poverty. It not only saves lives but strengthens global stability and creates future economic opportunities — as people lifted out of poverty become contributors to global growth and trade.
Despite this importance, the Carney government has recently announced plans to decrease ODA spending by $2.7 billion CAD over the next four years.
Email your Member of Parliament today to oppose these cuts, support a strong ODA budget, and ensure Canada continues to lead in building a fairer, safer, and more prosperous world.

Conflict in Sudan
The war in Sudan has had a devastating impact on civilians, who bear the brunt of the violence. In 2026, 33.7 million people require humanitarian assistance. Sudan has become the world’s largest displacement crisis, with more than 11 million people internally displaced and millions more forced to flee across borders.

The situation is deteriorating rapidly. According to the UN, famine is already present in multiple regions, including displacement camps in Darfur and Kordofan, with millions at risk of starvation as food, water, and medical supplies become unreachable due to active fighting and deliberate access restrictions. Outbreaks of cholera, measles, and other preventable diseases continue to spread due to the collapse of Sudan’s health system.
Attacks on residential areas, along with the use of sexual and gender-based violence, summary executions, and arbitrary detention, have further compounded the human toll.
Humanitarian agencies are unable to reach people in need. Aid convoys have been blocked, workers attacked, and vital border crossings closed. The UN has repeatedly warned that without immediate and unhindered humanitarian access, hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk.
Canada has a longstanding commitment to upholding human rights, promoting peace, and advancing the principles of international law. By calling for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan and the restoration of humanitarian aid corridors, Canada can demonstrate its leadership on the world stage and contribute to efforts aimed at preventing further loss of life and alleviating the suffering of innocent civilians.
