Name of recipient: Global Centre for Pluralism (GCP)

Start date: 2006–2007—One-time Conditional Grant (Endowment)

End date: Perpetual

Description: The GCP is a not-for-profit organization, co-founded by the Aga Khan Development Network and the Government of Canada, which addresses a global gap in institutions that advocate pluralism as a foundation for new governance, peace and human development at the international level. The mission of the GCP is to promote pluralism as a fundamental human value and cornerstone of peace, stability and development. The Centre will pursue its mandate through four core functions:

• sustaining an international policy dialogue on pluralism in governance, elections, judicial systems, media and education to help factions integrate in states at risk;
• providing programs for academic and professional development;
• fostering research and learning on pluralism; and
• fostering and sharing the results of research and learning on pluralism. These activities will target primarily the developing world, offering a platform from which existing organizations and experts on pluralism in Canada can reach an international audience.
