grant Background
About the Funding Agency
Global Affairs Canada (GAC) is the federal department responsible for managing Canada's diplomatic and consular relations, international trade, and foreign aid. Headquartered at the Lester B. Pearson Building at 125 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, Ontario, the main office acts as the core command center for shaping Canadian foreign policy. The headquarters team coordinates nationwide and global strategies, supporting the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of International Trade, and the Minister of International Development.
The main office in Ottawa directs a vast network of over 175 missions, embassies, and high commissions spread across the globe. Policy makers and analysts at this central site design programs for global peace, human rights, and international law. They also manage the Trade Commissioner Service to help Canadian companies export goods and find new economic opportunities overseas.
Additionally, the headquarters hosts the 24/7 Emergency Watch and Response Centre, which assists citizens facing crises abroad. Leadership teams inside the building work with international partners to deliver humanitarian aid and fund sustainable poverty-reduction projects. Through these coordinated domestic and international efforts, the headquarters ensures Canada's values remain active in a changing world.

Locations
Botswana
Botswana historically leveraged diamond revenues to build strong institutions, social services and basic infrastructure, contributing to poverty reduction and human development over past decades. In the face of a downturn in the global diamond market and associated fiscal pressures, the government is prioritizing economic diversification and structural reforms to attract investment in services, manufacturing, tourism, renewable energy and digital infrastructure. Significant public investments and plans under the National Development Plan and Botswana Economic Transformation Program aim to upgrade transport, digital networks, and utility systems while expanding renewable energy capacity. However, implementation of infrastructure projects faces challenges including efficiency and planning constraints, underscoring the need for improved governance to ensure public investment translates into sustained inclusive growth.

Malawi
Malawi’s development agenda centres on closing infrastructure deficits in energy, transport and irrigation to support agricultural productivity and economic diversification. Investment in power generation and transmission seeks to address chronic electricity shortages that limit industrial growth, while road and trade corridor upgrades aim to enhance regional connectivity. Given constrained public finances and exposure to climate risks, Malawi relies heavily on concessional financing and development partners. Continued reforms to strengthen public investment management and regulatory frameworks are key to improving infrastructure delivery and long-term resilience.
