The Honourable Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced that Canada will commit over $4.3 million to strengthen defence and broader security sector reforms in Ukraine as part of Canada\u2019s whole-of-government support to the country.<\/p>\n

The contribution complements Operation UNIFIER, Canada\u2019s military training and capacity-building mission in Ukraine, and will be implemented in partnership with the Parliamentary Centre and Alinea International. These funds will support projects that integrate technical expertise, gender-based analysis and results-based management tools to enhance security sector institutions.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s partnership with Alinea International will advance governance and democratic accountability of the security sector by helping reform initiatives undertaken within security sector institutions in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s contribution to the Parliamentary Centre will bolster the capacities of Ukrainian parliamentary committees to review and pass legislation required for security sector reform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
