Canada has committed up to $1 billion over 10 years beginning in 2003 to implement the goals of the Global Partnership. The justification for the Partnership was based on an ongoing assessment of threats to Canadian security following the terrorist attacks of September 2001. Exhaustive evaluations at the G8 level led to the conclusion by leaders at the Kananaskis Summit that the seriousness of the threats could only be addressed if a cooperative approach, supported by significant resources, was adopted. | |
Objectives: The objective of the Global Partnership Program approved by Cabinet in 2002 is to protect Canadians from security threats emanating from terrorism, failed/failing nation-states, the risks posed by the proliferation of WMD and health pandemics. This is being accomplished through:

Canada's contribution to the organization's unified budget covers the costs associated with the implementation of the organization's work programs and activities in three dimensions: political and military aspects of security; economic and environmental cooperation; and cooperation in humanitarian and other fields. This integrated approach allows the OSCE to make a significant contribution to furthering European security and transatlantic cooperation through non-coercive measures. Canada's contribution also supports stronger partnership with Canadians in developing and implementing Canada's international security policy, through the involvement of members of Parliament in the work of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the deployment of Canadians to OSCE field operations, and the contribution of Canadian experts to the organization. The OSCE unified budget, based on a programmatic approach, is approved by the OSCE Permanent Council on a yearly basis.

The results expected include effective and timely implementation of the decisions of the OSCE Permanent Council; continuous monitoring of the security and stability situation in Europe; concerted programming to actively contribute to conflict prevention, conflict resolution and post-conflict institution building; and proper management of the organization's resources. |

The Board of External Auditors, which is composed of three elected members who represent the OAS member states, presents its report to the OAS Permanent Council and the General Assembly. An Inspector General is also responsible for proceeding with the internal auditing procedures to verify compliance with standards and regulations in force, especially through systematic and selective examination of official transactions and operational procedures related to the resources administered by the General Secretariat.

Table 12: Horizontal Initiatives—Summary
DFAIT is the lead department for the following horizontal initiatives: United States Enhanced Representation Initiative (ERI) and Global Peace and Security Fund (GPSF).
Supplementary information on horizontal initiatives can be found at http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/rma/eppi-ibdrp/hrdb-rhdb/profil-eng.asp
Name of Horizontal Initiative: Global Peace and Security Fund (GPSF) |
Lead Department: Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade |
Start Date: October 3, 2005 |
End Date: March 31, 2010 |
Total Federal Funding Allocation: $623,987,000 |
The Global Peace and Security Fund (GPSF), its component programs (Global Peace and Security Program, Global Peace Operations Program, and the Human Security Program) was established at $100 million per year for five years to support urgent contributions to crisis response operations, continue to address Canada's G8 Sea Island commitment to help build global peace support capacity, and provide resources to Canada's human security commitments. Funded from the Peace and Security Pool of the International Assistance Envelope, the GPSF fills a funding gap by providing dedicated resources for activities that are necessary for a timely response with respect to countries at risk of crisis, but are not properly the responsibility of the Department of Natonal Defence and are outside the core purposes of Canada's Official Development Assistance Program. These activities include supporting peace processes and mediation efforts, addressing small arms and light weapons proliferation, supporting transitional justice and reconciliation, and improving the peace enforcement and peace support capacities of African militaries. |
Shared outcomes are:
|
Governance structure(s): The GPSF is managed by the Stabilization and Reconstructon Task Force (START) Secretariat in the context of a whole-of-government approach coordinated through the START Advisory Board. Chaired by the Director General of the START Secretariat and comprising senior officials from across government, the START Advisory Board is responsible for establishing whole-of-government strategic policy, priority-setting and direction with respect to failed and fragile states and complex emergencies within the framework of individual departmental authorities, as well as providing a platform for information exchange on program-related activities to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication. The START Secretariat is located in the International Security Branch of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and is accountable to DFAIT, which is responsible for the financial, human resources and physical resource services for START. |

Table 13: Sustainable Development Strategy
Agenda 2009: A Sustainable Development Strategy for Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada defines sustainable development initiatives for the 2007-2009 period. The initiatives support two broad goals and five objectives:
Goal 1: Ensure greater integration of sustainable development into departmental policies, programs and operations.
Objective 1.1: Organizational structures and processes support meaningful and significant sustainable development objectives.
Objective 1.2: Improved environmental management practices through the Environmental Management System.
Goal 2: Advance Canada's sustainable development interests related to foreign affairs and international trade.
Objective 2.1: Effective promotion of international security and respect for human rights, good governance and the rule of law as prerequisites for sustainable development.
Objective 2.2: Enhanced Canadian prosperity through advancement of Canadian sustainable development interests and priorities in trade relations, policies and programs.
Objective 2.3: Advancing Canada's interests on key environmental and sustainable development issues.
For more information on Agenda 2009 and the specific commitments related to the goals and objectives, please visit http://www.international.gc.ca/trade/sd-dd//Agenda2007/menu-en.asp.
Key activities undertaken by DFAIT in 2007 will be summarized in the Departmental Performance Report and will also be accounted for in the Agenda 2009 annual reports, which will be produced and made available electronically at http://www.international.gc.ca/sd-dd.
Linkages with Departmental Priorities for 2007-2008
The Sustainable Development Strategy links directly to two of DFAIT's four policy priorities. It does not link to DFAIT's two management priorities. The linkages to DFAIT's policy priorities are as follows:
The third policy priority—"Greater international support for freedom and security, democracy, rule of law, human rights and environmental stewardship"—relates directly to Objective 2.1: Effective promotion of international security and respect for human rights, good governance and the rule of law as prerequisites for sustainable development. Initiatives captured under this objective include the effective management of Canada's Global Partnership Program, work on the Human Rights Council and the integration of health as a component of Canada's foreign policy.
The second policy priority—"Greater economic competitiveness for Canada through enhanced commercial engagement, secure market access and targeted support for Canadian business"—relates to Objective 2.2, which aims to enhance Canadian prosperity through advancement of Canadian sustainable development interests and priorities in trade relations, policies and programs.
The other policy priorities relate generally to the overarching goals and specifically to certain initiatives throughout Agenda 2009. For example, the fourth policy priority—"Accountable and consistent use of the multilateral system to deliver results on global issues of concern to Canadians"—links to commitments under Objective 2.1.
Linkages with the Federal Sustainable Development Goals
In July 2006, the Government of Canada released the guidance document, Coordinating the Fourth Round of Departmental Sustainable Development Strategies, to facilitate the initial elements of a coordinated federal approach. It attempts to build coherence based on a set of common federal sustainable development goals and to strengthen accountability to Canadians by developing common format standards that will enable roll-up reporting on the goals. DFAIT was an active participant in the interdepartmental consultations and review process. DFAIT supports this type of collaboration on horizontal sustainable development issues and has identified its actions that contribute directly to the federal goals in the "expected outcome" column in the charts of Agenda 2009. It should be noted that although many DFAIT initiatives support the overarching federal sustainable development goals, the outcomes are often too specific or too domestic for a clear linkage to be evident.
