The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada\u2019s thematic priority areas for engagement. The program is directed at projects conceived and designed\u00a0predominantly by\u00a0local partners. Projects are selected and approved by the relevant Canadian embassy or high commission. The CFLI also serves to support positive bilateral relations between Canada and recipient countries and their civil societies, by deepening contacts and supporting local endeavours.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of CFLI funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental,\u00a0multilateral\u00a0and regional organizations may be eligible for funding, provided they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with the\u00a0objectives\u00a0of the CFLI.
