THE POSSIBILITY
Recognize Canada’s 2018 G7 Presidency as an opportunity to put girls’ education in crisis and conflict settings on the global agenda and secure a major new investment.
THE APPROACH
The strategy brought together child rights organizations around a clear policy ask, aligned the proposal with the government’s priorities, and built support with political decision-makers in Canada and internationally.
THE IMPACT
At the 2018 G7 Summit in Charlevoix, the government of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, together with international partners, announced a $3.8 billion investment in quality education for women and girls living in crisis, conflict-affected and fragile states, including a $400 million commitment from Canada.
Canada’s investment has since helped more than 4 million girls and women access quality education and learning opportunities.¹
