This presentation includes insights into the priorities for the Call for Proposals (CFP) 2024, the advancements and changes from the previous CFP, and outlines the approach for the upcoming launch in mid-November of this year.
IRCC's CORE Principles remain in place.
Their "vision for CFP 2024 is to foster a Program that delivers the right service, to the right client, at the right time."
"CFP 2024 is developed in line with IRCC’s commitments to Anti-Racism, Gender-based Analysis (GBA)
Plus, and Gender Equality. This includes incorporating Truth and Reconciliation into the programming."
There are additional details in the document, as illustrated in the image below.
The priority areas are still way to vague. The evidence cited as input from the sector is to shallow, not including years of reports, program reporting, narratives, evaluations, and more. But this is just a presentation. Since we don't have access to how it was presented and any discussion that occurred that may have clarified any of these areas, we'll have to wait until the webinar and Q&A sessions over the coming months.
The introduction of three new funding streams, which appear to formally incorporate Service Delivery Improvement (SDI) funding priorities is an excellent opportunity to institutionalize innovation funding in IRCC's overall funding approach, if that is what is occurring.
So, we'll see as the details roll out. For now, it is very useful to have this document to review, discuss, and even start planning.
Edited to add - Someone who was at the NSIC meeting where this was presented provided some additional useful context:
I'll add any more details as I get them.
