The report will be launched, in partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation Canada and Carleton University’s Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, on Thursday, November 2, 2023, at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, 199 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Canada and online from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.
IDRC supported a portion of the work leading to the report through a project grant entitled “Supporting Metrics Working Group of the Lancet-Swedish Institute for Global Health Transformation Commission on Peace, Justice, and Gender Equality.” This 24-month grant was approved in late 2019 with Professor Valerie Percival of Carleton University as the principal investigator. She was also the leader of the Commission’s Metrics Working Group and is the lead author of this report.
Some authors of the report, partners, and experts will attend the event to discuss the findings and recommendations contained in the report. The speakers will include:
- Valerie Percival, associate professor, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, and associate director, MA Program, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
- Dane Rowlands, professor of International Affairs, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
