International Development Beyond 2020
ACGC Annual Conference, September 23-25, 2020
2020 has been a pivotal year in the world. The emergence of the global Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting economic impacts are affecting the ability of international development organizations in Alberta to carry out their missions. Within this crisis, heightened public calls to address gender and racial inequality, demands that we re-examine how we approach our work, and make the transformative changes needed to fulfill the UN Sustainable Development Goals at home and across the world.

Within this crisis, heightened, and well overdue public calls to address gender and racial inequality, demand that we re-examine how we approach our work, and call on us to make the transformative changes needed to fulfill the UN Sustainable Development Goals at home and across the world.
