Signs of the Times: Understanding Changes to Canada's International Assistance

The international cooperation sector is navigating a period of significant change, from shifting donor priorities and constrained resources to an increasingly contested public narrative around international assistance. This facilitated panel examines what is shifting in Canada, what is shifting globally, and what these changes mean for ACIC, our members, and the youth we work with. Panelists will speak to the major trends reshaping the sector, the challenges organizations can expect in the years ahead, and where opportunities for adaptation and collaboration remain. The session will close with a moderated discussion and audience questions.
