the dismantling barriers and improving the quality of education for women and girls in fragile, conflict and crisis situations call for proposals is part of canada’s $400-million commitment to education for women and girls in crisis and conflict situations, announced in june 2018 at the g7 summit in charlevoix, quebec. the call aligns with canada’s feminist international assistance policy and aims to support a sustainable development approach to increasing access and reducing barriers to quality education for women and girls in fragile, conflict and crisis situations, including in refugee-hosting countries. this call also aligns with commitments made by canada at the global disability summit in 2018 to increasing access to quality education for women and girls with disabilities and ensuring that their interests and priorities are taken into account.

the total amount of funding available under this call for proposals is up to $80 million over five years. global affairs canada may fund any number of proposals or none, up to the maximum funding available. however, the department expects to fund up to seven or eight initiatives with project durations of at least three years up to a maximum of five years.
