Humanity & Inclusion

Handicap International Canada's submission to the International Assistance Review

July 29, 2016. Handicap International is an international not-for-profit organisation with over 30 years of experience implementing humanitarian assistance and development programs around the world. It has been active in Canada since 2003. This consultation process provides a welcome opportunity to reflect upon Canada’s role in addressing some of the most urgent issues in the fields of development and humanitarian assistance today. We hope that our contributions will impact positively on the outcomes of this significant initiative.
