The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada’s thematic priority areas for engagement. The program is directed at projects conceived and designed predominantly by local partners. In the Palestinian Territories, projects are selected and approved by the Representative Office of Canada in Ramallah.
In this context, the CFLI also serves to support positive relations between Canada, and Palestinians, by deepening contacts and supporting local civil society and its endeavours.
