The projects must also afford opportunities to advance Canada's values and interests and/or strengthen Canada's bilateral relations with foreign countries and their civil societies.

The objectives of the CFLI are to:

• Contribute to the achievement of Canada's thematic priorities for international assistance, with special emphasis on the themes of advancing democracy and ensuring security and stability;
• Assist in the advocacy of Canada's values and interests and the strengthening of Canada's bilateral relations with foreign countries and their civil societies;
• Provide humanitarian assistance in the immediate aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies.

Expected results:

Improved influence of Canadians on local decision makers

• Amount of content in key documents (policies, commentaries, speeches, reports, etc.) that reflects Canadian values and interests;
• No. of local stakeholders advocating Canadian positions.

Improved recognition for Canadian efforts locally

• No. of positive communications items in the local media (press, radio, television, etc.) or made by local stakeholders (declarations, speeches, etc.);

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Global Peace and Security Fund and its sub-programs: the Global Peace and Security Program, the Global Peace Operations Program, and the Glyn Berry Program for Peace and Security (program funding approved by vote in Parliament)

Start date: October 2, 2005; operational September 18, 2006

End date: March 31, 2013

Fiscal Year for Ts & Cs: 2010-11

Strategic Outcome: Canada's International Agenda - The international agenda is shaped to Canada's benefit and advantage in accordance with Canadian interests and values.

Program Activity: International Policy Advice and Integration; Diplomacy and Advocacy

Description:

Sourced from the Peace and Security Pool of the International Assistance Envelope (IAE), the Global Peace and Security Fund (GPSF) funds the operations of the Stabilization and Reconstruction Task Force (START) and is used to conduct international assistance programming in fragile and conflict-affected states such as Afghanistan, Haiti and Sudan. START and the GPSF were originally created to fill a policy, institutional and funding gap between CIDA humanitarian and long-term development assistance and DND's military and training assistance. START has effectively played a role, and established itself as a platform to facilitate whole-of-government engagement as well as policy development where appropriate.

GPSF programming provides timely, focused, effective and accountable international assistance in response to critical peace and security challenges which implicate Canadian interests and reflect Canadian foreign policy priorities. GPSF programming includes both transfer and non-transfer payments. Non-transfer payment programming enables DFAIT to work closely with federal departments to provide beneficiary states and civilian components of multilateral peace operations with critical expertise in the areas of security and justice system reform.

The GPSF is managed by START. To ensure policy coherence and to avoid duplication, various interdepartmental and intradepartmental committees (deputy minister, assistant deputy minister and director general levels) are called upon as required to inform and guide emerging priority-setting exercises and implement Cabinet-mandated priorities in the whole-of-government context. START is located in DFAIT's International Security Branch (IFM), which is responsible for START's financial, human and physical resources.

Recipients are not required to repay funds obtained under this transfer payment program.

Expected results: The GPSF supports initiatives in affected states. These are states experiencing fragility, conflict, governance crises, natural disasters and complex emergencies implicating Canadian interests and consistent with Canada's foreign policy priorities. The long-term expected results are:

Strengthened institutions and civil society in affected states, as measured by:

• Evidence that capacity-building initiatives targeting institutions and civil society have contributed to effective stabilization and reconstruction;
• Evidence of functioning security and justice sector institutions;
• Evidence of effective participation of civil society;
• Evidence of better coordination among national and international actors.

Strengthened international responses to specific crisis situations, as measured by:

• Evidence that capacity-building initiatives targeting international and regional peacekeeping institutions have led to effective stabilization and reconstruction;
• Evidence of improved international and regional responses to crisis situations;
• Evidence of improved security;
• Evidence of better coordination among national and international actors.

Strengthened international frameworks for addressing crisis situations, as measured by:

• Evidence that adherence to international norms, principles and best practices aligned with Canadian priorities, interests and values have led to improved crises responses;
• Evidence that norms, principles and best practices aligned with Canadian priorities, interest and values have led to improved crises responses;
• Evidence that norms, principles and best practices aligned with Canadian priorities have been adopted by the international community.

The ultimate result of GPSF-funded interventions is effective stabilization and reconstruction in affected states, contributing to peace and security and the safety and well-being of beneficiaries living in those targeted areas.

Description: Canada's annual assessed contribution to NATO is a legally binding obligation of membership, based on the 1949 North Atlantic Treaty. Canada's contribution furthers its foreign policy goals by funding the administrative budget of NATO, an international organization vital to Canadian defence and security interests. NATO was designed to promote the stability of the North Atlantic area and to safeguard the freedom and security of its people by political and military means, based on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and international law.

The NATO civil administration supports the process of consensus building and decision making among alliance members and manages NATO's relations with its partners. NATO's civil budget also supports the work of various NATO agencies with specialized responsibilities. An effective and efficient NATO civil administration assists alliance members in promoting security and stability in the North Atlantic area and in responding effectively to current security challenges, particularly in Afghanistan. NATO accounts are subject to annual audit by the International Board of Auditors for NATO.

Recipients are not required to repay funds obtained under this transfer payment program.

• Appropriate response to current and emerging defence and security challenges;
• Enhanced relations with NATO partners and cooperation with other international organizations;
• Proper management of the Alliance's resources.

The NATO civil budget is formulated on an objective-based framework. NATO outlines its expected results and performance measurement strategy on its website (see, for e.g., www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/topics_67655.htm).

Strategic Outcome: Canada's International Agenda - The international agenda is shaped to Canada's benefit and advantage in accordance with Canadian interests and values.

Program Activity: Diplomacy and Advocacy

Description: Canada's annual assessed contribution to the OSCE is an obligation arising from its commitments as one of the organization's 56 participating states. Canada's contribution furthers its foreign policy goals by funding programs implemented by the OSCE's institutions and field operations in priority foreign policy areas for Canada related to fundamental freedoms, fragile states, democratization and post-conflict development. This contribution also contributes to effective global governance and international security and stability. The OSCE is a regional forum with a comprehensive and cooperative approach to security. Canada's contribution to the organization's unified budget covers the costs associated with the implementation of the OSCE's work programs and activities in three areas of security and cooperation: political and military; economic and environmental; and human rights and democratization. This integrated approach allows the OSCE to make a significant contribution to furthering European and Eurasian security and transatlantic cooperation through non-coercive measures. Canada's contribution also supports a stronger Canadian partnership 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 election observation missions, 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. OSCE accounts are subject to an annual report by external auditors as well as an internal oversight annual report, both of which are made available to participating states. An independent audit committee also provides additional assessment by overseeing the work of both internal and external auditors.

Recipients are not required to repay funds obtained under this transfer payment program.

Expected results:

• Effective and timely implementation of the decisions of the OSCE Permanent Council;
• Continuous monitoring of the security and stability situation in Europe and Eurasia;
• Concerted programming to actively contribute to conflict prevention, conflict resolution and post-conflict institution-building and to address a range of issues, including human rights, arms control, terrorism, good governance, energy security, human trafficking, democratization, media freedom and minority rights;
• Proper management of the organization's resources.

The OSCE uses a performance-based program budgeting model. The OSCE outlines its expected results and performance measurement strategy on its website.

Program Activity: Diplomacy and Advocacy

Description: The purpose of this program is to pay the assessed contribution for Canada's membership in the WTO. Canada's membership in the WTO helps to ensure that an international rules-based framework is maintained.

The WTO provides the only multilateral forum for negotiating market access and other trade rules. It also provides the best forum for monitoring the implementation of obligations and commitments under various trade agreements, reviewing members' trade policies and practices, and discussing trade-related issues that inhibit the free, fair and predictable flow of trade.

The WTO is the only organization offering a state-to-state dispute settlement system whereby trade disputes are settled based on commonly agreed-on rules, rather than on political or economic power. Through these agreements, 153 WTO members operate a non-discriminatory trading system that spells out their rights and obligations. Each country receives guarantees that its exports will be treated fairly and consistently in other countries' markets. Each promises to do the same for imports into its own market.

Recipients are not required to repay funds obtained under this transfer payment program.

Expected results:

• As a trade-dependent country, Canada has been actively involved in all areas of the current round of WTO negotiations, known as the Doha Development Agenda;
• While the Doha negotiations are at an impasse, Canada will continue to work with other WTO members to find constructive ways to engage in multilateral discussions among WTO members on issues facing the global trading system, both inside and outside the Doha Agenda;
• Canada participates in the accession negotiations for all countries seeking to join the WTO, as well as in the reviews of WTO members, and is itself reviewed every four years;
• Canada is one of the most active participants in the WTO dispute settlement system.

Note: International organizations' governance mechanisms include oversight services. DFAIT will rely upon these oversight regimes to assist in monitoring the WTO's accountability for achieving objectives agreed to by its members and for stewardship of its funds, which are contributed by member states, including Canada.

The WTO annual report provides a comprehensive overview of WTO activities over the past year and includes information on the organization's budget and staffing. It can be found at: wto.org/english/res_e/reser_e/annual_report_e.htm.

Canada, as a member of the WTO, also has access to all audits, evaluations and performance reviews completed by or on behalf of the WTO.
