Cuso International will deliver the Sharing Canadian Expertise for Inclusive Development and Gender Equality (SHARE) project, with a contribution from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) over seven years (2020-2027). SHARE aims to improve the economic and/or social well-being of the poorest, most marginalized and vulnerable people, particularly women and girls, in developing countries, with a view to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to increasing engagement of Canadians in international development and key global issues, this project will aim to increase the performance of country partners to deliver more inclusive, innovative and environmentally sustainable development initiatives that advance gender equality, in support of the action areas of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy.


Partner - Alpha Institute

The Alpha Institute is a non-profit vocational and general education school for 150 at-risk teen boys and young men from Kingston’s impoverished inner-city communities. Since the early 1890s, the Alpha music program has produced graduates who are respected internationally for their accomplishments in jazz, ska, reggae and pop music. The partnership between Cuso International and The Alpha Institute is to strengthen the industry connections, vocational, educational and social resources provided by the Institute, in order to enable students to acquire the skills needed to sustain themselves and their families. The intent is to encourage music students to learn to read and perform music and work effectively as a member of a team.
