En cette Semaine nationale de l\u2019action b\u00e9n\u00e9vole, nous voudrions prendre le temps de reconna\u00eetre l\u2019incroyable impact qu\u2019ont eu nos b\u00e9n\u00e9voles de R\u00e9sultats Canada au cours des ans. Depuis la fondation de notre organisme, nous avons eu la chance d\u2019entrer en contact avec un grand nombre de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles passionn\u00e9.e.s et d\u00e9vou\u00e9.e.s. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 leurs efforts, nos b\u00e9n\u00e9voles ont aid\u00e9 \u00e0 sensibiliser aux causes fondamentales de la pauvret\u00e9, \u00e0 mobiliser les communaut\u00e9s pour les encourager \u00e0 agir et \u00e0 s\u2019impliquer aupr\u00e8s des d\u00e9cideur.euse.s afin de renforcer la volont\u00e9 politique de mettre fin \u00e0 la pauvret\u00e9 dans les pays \u00e0 faible et \u00e0 moyen revenu. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

un parcours percutant d' <\/span>impact<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

From its inception, Results Canada has played a leading role in advocating for the Canadian government to allocate resources and champion policy changes that support big impact for, and alongside, people living in poverty globally.  A special focus for Results Canada has been an emphasis on maternal newborn and child health \u2013 fighting for Canadian leadership to the point that Canada has played a significant role in advancing a revolution in child survival which has seen under-five child deaths cut in half over the past three decades.  <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Results Canada volunteers were instrumental in securing Canada\u2019s engagement, and pushing for then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney\u2019s leadership, at the World Summit for Children in 1990. The World Summit for Children was a milestone event for the United Nations, UNICEF, and most importantly for the world\u2019s children.  It marked the largest gathering of world leaders committed to advancing a global agenda in support of child health and nutrition.  Ultimately, it served as a precursor to the creation of the Millennium Development Goals, which in turn lead to the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals that followed and still serve as a blueprint for global ambition in support of a better world.   <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In the decades that followed, Results Canada built on this early leadership in support of maternal, newborn and child health.  In 2010, Results Canada worked with a small group of NGO allies to secure the Muskoka Initiative at the Canadian-hosted (then) G-8 meetings outside of Toronto. The Muskoka Initiative, championed by then Canadian PM Stephen Harper, leveraged $1.1 billion CAD, and an additional $7 billion globally for high-impact interventions to save at least 1.2 million children\u2019s lives.  RC volunteers worked hard again to ensure the government renewed the Muskoka Initiative in 2015 and then again to ensure it carried forward, with an added infusion of investments in sexual, reproductive, health and rights, when a new Liberal government was elected later that same year.  <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Along the way \u2013 and in addition to these significant milestone investments in support or maternal, child, and newborn health, Results volunteers successfully advocated for billions of investments in high-impact multilateral instruments like the Global Fund to Fight Aids, TB and malaria, GAVI (the Global Vaccines Alliance), the Global Financing Facility for maternal, newborn and child health, and many others.  On the Global Fund, specifically, Results Canada has engaged in every GFATM replenishment effort since the Fund\u2019s inception in 2002.  Most recently, in 2022, Results Canada lead a coalition of Canadian NGO\u2019s in securing a $1.2 billion Cdn pledge to the Global Fund \u2013 representing the single largest investment in a multilateral health instrument in Canadian history.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

With a commitment to ensuring that children not only survive, but thrive, Results Canada has also leveraged significant resources for education.  In 2018, at another Canadian-hosted G7, Results volunteers advocated for Canada to lead on an initiative to educate the world\u2019s most vulnerable children, especially girls, living in emergencies and refugee settlements.  Canada\u2019s <\/span>D\u00e9claration de Charlevoix<\/span><\/a> du Canada a confirm\u00e9 un investissement 400 millions de dollars canadiens et a obtenu 3,8 milliards de dollars additionnels \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle mondiale pour renforcer l\u2019\u00e9ducation de qualit\u00e9. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Results Canada volunteers continue to engage deeply and regularly with decision-makers, parliamentarians, and the media to advance cost-effective, proven, and effective interventions and initiatives that can have the most impact globally.  They <\/span>\u00eates solidaires<\/span><\/a> avec les autres b\u00e9n\u00e9voles \u00e0 travers le monde et ont un impact qui d\u00e9passe l\u2019\u00e9laboration de politiques et de programmes. En plaidant pour du changement et en demandant au Canada d\u2019accorder la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle mondiale, nos b\u00e9n\u00e9voles ont d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que l\u2019action collective peut transformer la vie de ceux et celles qui en ont le plus besoin. Leur travail puissant de plaidoyer a aid\u00e9 \u00e0 faire le pont entre les communaut\u00e9s touch\u00e9es par la pauvret\u00e9 et les d\u00e9cideur.euse.s, garantissant que les voix pr\u00e9sentes sur le terrain soient entendues et que leurs besoins soient prioris\u00e9s.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
