Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s 2023 pre-budget submission focuses on specific high-priority areas that align with Government commitments, policies and initiatives as well as current Ministerial mandate letters. It builds upon meaningful investments in previous budgets while advocating for further funding to close major outstanding gaps.
Getting Started with Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning is a means to achieve self-determination in Inuit program design and evaluation. The more Inuit take charge of monitoring and evaluation activities, the more monitoring and evaluation will serve our interests across Inuit Nunangat.
L’Initiative garantit que les enfants inuits ont accès aux produits, services et soutiens essen¬tiels en matière de santé, de services sociaux et d’éducation dont ils ont besoin, au moment où ils en ont besoin.
Cette initiative reconnaît les traumatismes intergénérationnels causés par l’héritage de la colonisation et toutes les demandes sont examinées sous l’angle de l’égalité réelle.
