SUMMARY:An Afternoon with Stephen Rulisa: Reading from The Path Less Travelled
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, September 9th\, 2025 at 1:30 PM for a special reading with Dr. Stephen Rulisa\, visiting professor and clinician from Rwanda\, as he shares passages from his new memoir\, The Path Less Travelled. \nDr. Rulisa’s story traces an extraordinary journey—from a nomadic childhood and the hardships of refugee life to becoming a leading voice in medical academia. Orphaned at a young age\, he assumed the role of head of his household\, pursued education against all odds\, and played an active role in Rwanda’s liberation through the Rwandan Patriotic Front movement. His path led him to medical school\, and ultimately\, to shaping the future of medical education in Rwanda. \nPart biography\, part philosophy\, and part call to action\, The Path Less Travelled reflects on resilience\, discipline\, and personal responsibility as the true drivers of success. Rulisa’s reflections speak to young people starting their journey\, those seeking to change course\, and anyone striving to build a purposeful life—one decision at a time. \n\n\n\n\nAt this event\, Dr. Rulisa will share selected passages from his book\, followed by an audience Q&A. \nCopies of The Path Less Travelled will be available for purchase at the event (limited supply)\, and we’ll be raffling off one copy to a lucky attendee. You can also purchase the book online here. \nThis is a free event but please register for your spot \, as space is limited. Food and drinks will be provided for registered guests. \nAbout the author:\nDr. Stephen Rulisais a medical doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology\, with a PhD in public health focused on malaria. He is a seasoned clinical researcher with over 18 years of experience in epidemiology and public health\, particularly in reproductive health\, and has a strong interest in health systems strengthening. \nHe has led and collaborated on numerous research projects\, both within Rwanda and in international\, multicenter studies. Currently\, he serves as a clinician and Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Rwanda and holds adjunct appointments at several international universities. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Participez à la Journée de plaidoyer à Ottawa pour #MenerLaLutte contre la TB !
DESCRIPTION:Le Canada a été un champion des efforts d’élimination de la tuberculose (TB) grâce à des investissements soutenus dans le Le Fonds mondial de lutte contre le sida\, la tuberculose et le paludisme et l’initiative TB REACH de Stop TB Partnership\, nous ne sommes pas à la hauteur de nos engagements tant au niveau mondial que national. \nLe Canada n’a pas versé sa juste part à la recherche et au développement sur la TB chaque année depuis que les objectifs de l’ONU ont été fixés en 2018\, et les investissements nationaux sont insuffisants pour éliminer la TB dans notre pays\, qui touche de manière disproportionnée les populations autochtones et les nouveaux.elles arrivant.e.s. Cependant\, cette année\, le Canada a de nombreuses occasions de jouer un rôle de premier plan dans la lutte pour éliminer la TB\, la maladie infectieuse la plus mortelle au monde\, tant à l’échelle nationale qu’internationale ! Il suffit d’avoir la volonté politique pour y parvenir. Et nous avons besoin de VOUS ! \nJournée de plaidoyer \nPartners In Health\, Résultats Canada\, Stop TB Canada\, Médecins Sans Frontières\, TBPeople Canada\, et TBFighters organisent une Journée de plaidoyer sur la Colline du Parlement organisent un événement le 25 septembre pour demander au Canada de #MenerLaLutte contre la tuberculose ! Il s’agit essentiellement d’une journée où des agent.e.s de changement passionné.e.s se rendent à Ottawa pour sensibiliser nos leaders à la tuberculose et les appeler à passer à l’action pour aider à mettre fin à cette maladie traitable et évitable. Pour avoir un aperçu de ce qu’est cette expérience\, regardez cette vidéo de TBFighters sur la journée de plaidoyer contre la TB qui s’est déroulée en avril dernier à Washington\, DC. \nAucune expérience préalable n’est requise pour participer – nous vous fournirons toute la formation nécessaire ! Veuillez noter que nous essaierons de vous mettre en relation avec votre propre député.e dans la mesure du possible\, mais nous ne pouvons garantir que vous rencontrerez un.e parlementaire en particulier. \nInscrivez-vous ici !

SUMMARY:Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy After Eight Years: What Have We Learned So Far?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by CIPS\, the Gender\, Peace\, and Development Research Network (GPD-RN)\, the Research Network on Women\, Peace and Security and the Group of 78 \nCanada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) was announced in 2017\, followed by several other commitments in support of Canada’s Feminist Foreign Policy. For example\, “the women\, peace and security agenda is at the heart of Canada’s Feminist Foreign Policy\, which includes the Feminist International Assistance Policy and Defence Policy” (Government of Canada\, 2024). After eight years of programming\, debates\, and multisectoral discussions\, it is an important moment for reflection on what we have learned so far from Canada’s FIAP. \nThis event adds to a rich and detailed analysis of policy rhetoric by focussing on some of the practical experiences of organizations tasked with implementation of programming under the FIAP\, as well as critical and analytical insights from scholars and practitioners. \nThe panel builds on earlier events organized by the Gender\, Peace and Development Research Network and the Centre for International Policy Studies (CIPS) including the April 30\, 2025 event by emerging scholars titled “What Can We Learn From How Canada’s FIAP is Landing in Latin America and the Caribbean?”. One of the major themes that emerged from this previous event was the importance of a feminist approach to development as described by the partner organizations in Haiti\, Jamaica/CARICOM and Colombia\, particularly when combined with a commitment to connecting to local feminist priorities from partner countries.  See\, also\, the June 6\, 2025 blog by these presenters. \nOther important insights on feminist foreign policy enrich our discussion on Canada’s FIAP including the September 11\, 2025 event on Strengthening the Representation of Women in Diplomacy: Challenges and Policy Solutions; the August\, 2025 Policy Brief by Lilly Nicholls titled How FIAP Broke Glass Ceilings in Canadian Diplomacy – And Should Go Further; and Beth Woroniuk’s August 21\, 2025 analysis: Canada\, Financing for Development and Gender Equality: Looking for Leadership. \nThe Gender\, Peace and Development Research Network (as part of the Centre for Policy Studies at the University of Ottawa) and the Group of 78 invite you to join us for this important new conversation where we will reflect on some of the successes of programs funded under FIAP\, lessons learned\, and priorities for future initiatives. \nAttend here!
