Merci de considérer aussi la mise en place de mesures d'appui financier à nos organismes, pour pallier aux pertes de revenus combinés à des coût additionnels, et ce autant pour les programmes subventionnés par AMC que pour nos autres interventions. La survie de nombreux organismes de notre secteur en dépend.

Y aura-t-il de l'aide financière pour le maintien des emplois (permanence) dans les organismes de coopération internationale?

Et qu'en est-il de l'étude de projets soumis dans le cadre d'appels de propositions- est-ce que le processus sera retardé?

Est-ce qu’Affaires mondiales Canada peut ouvrir une boîte de questions comme c’est l’habitude dans les appels de projets ?

Allons-nous avoir les lignes directrices par écrit ?

Qu’en est-il de la retenue finale pour les accords finissant sous peu?

Est-ce que les coûts de mise en quarantaine inclue aussi les stagiaires?

Merci pour a création d’une page internet!

Est-ce que le contenu-enregistrement de cette rencontre va être publié dans quelque part? site web?

oui - on le fera des que nous pourrons

La quanrantaine est ele seulement pour les volontaires et employés ou aussi pour les stagiaires, ce serait bien de le clarifier pour ne pas faire place a de l'interprétation

Les stagiaires du programme PSIJ

Est-ce que le gouvernement fédéral prévoit aider les permanences des organismes sans but lucratif pour les salaires des permanents?

Est-ce qu'AMC serait flexible à considérer l'impact de la diminution de la valeur du dollars canadiens et des engagements que nous avons en devises sur nos projets.

Versement des salaires des équipes terrain au delà d'un mois ?

Does this mean that GAC will cover the costs or is this a reference to to the Loan Program?

On Sunday 22nd March right from morning 7 to evening 9, every one in India country as a whole imposing self-curview, based on the call of the Indian Prime Miniter… not come outside of their houses; so whole country completely close. You all may be know that India is highest density of population in the world. So this is the care initiated by government and civil society as part of awareness development.

For ongoing application processes,, are timelines still the same, ie with the current FIT program

Calls for proposals

Call for proposals for FIT is April 27th, correct?

Are there flexible options to help bring spouses of our Canadian staff who are awaiting spousal visa applications to be expedited so that families can be brought back to Canada together?

can desk officers not access their .gc.ca emails?

Please clarify if there are new deadlines for the FIT Proposal deadline of April 27th.

what is happening with project under negotiation now?

Will GAC consider any unsolicited concept notes in response to COVID-19 that are congruent with what's been shared on this call?

what about quarantined interns or volunteers not just employees

Are we talking also about salaries for implementing partners local/ in country staff?

Vaughn and Sébastien, Thank you for this information and your support. Can you please clarify whether overhead and other costs can be maintained while projects are on hold?

I assume the salary/quarantine costs coverage for Canadians will also apply to our local/national staff in our partner countries?

I want to echo Jennifer and Janet's questions. Very important consideration.

Can you clarify - office costs are eligible costs?

will these details be provided in writing by GAC as well as during this call?

GAC will publish a Q&A page online soon apparently

In reconsidering cost share allocations does this apply only to ‘in kind’ cost share?

Please clarify what is covered for quarantine costs in Canada? What needs to be provided as justification for expenses? For example can we consider a flat rate per diem to our returned volunteers, or is it cost by cost (rent, food etc..).

echoing carrie

Also, it is possible to confirm that returned volunteers are eligible for the Federal Temporary Income Support for Workers and Parents?

For projects currently in process for costed extension (we are in this situation) will all new approvals be frozen, or can we expect these processes to continue?

need some clarification on cost sharing is it only for in-kind or cash as well

What if there is a need to repatriate a non-Canadian expat (e.g a European national working on a GAC funded project in West Africa that may need to return to home) - would those quarantine costs be eligible?

what about requests for extensions that were going to be made at the end of this fiscal during the reporting period. Will these be considered?

When will this information from GAC be published? Our org, has several staff overseas and we should not wait until this "formally" published. How do we proceed? Should we check with our PTLs ? Precautionary principle.

Will GAC increase the financial limitation of contribution agreements to cover quarantine costs for staff or is this a reallocation of funds?

Can you clarify the 30 period in regards to staffing? Does this apply to permanent project staff? When should we expect further guidance?

to @CCIC when will the recording of this call be made available?

FIT proposals for Intake 2 are currently due on April 27. We are monitoring the situation and will be sure to provide further updates asap to those submitting. Please contact FIT directly with any questions: info@fit-fit.ca

Will GAC consider reducing the cash contribution requirement for organizations unable to meet the their commitments due to the crisis?

We are mostly talking about salary continuance for local staff while sick or unable to carry out project activities for health and safety reasons?

Will this recording be shared after the meeting?

To @MCallsen and everyone - we will send the recording of the call later today

The value of the Canadian dollar has recently decreased significantly with respect to other currencies. Will the guidance to be posted address this issue? This will have impacts on advances/transfers received during this period.

Thank you
