Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) is a non-profit international development organization based in Ottawa, Ontario. It operates in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East to identify and support sustainable approaches that address the root causes of global poverty. The foundation works with communities and partners to implement development programs that aim to create lasting impact. Recent activity includes the May 2026 launch of Global Citizens 2026, a joint effort with Canadian Geographic to explore how youth, educators, and communities engage with global challenges. In April 2026, AKFC co-facilitated a session on youth leadership at the Ottawa Civic Space Summit, collaborating with partners to reimagine intergenerational power. The organization pursues partnerships with government bodies and cultural institutions to advance educational and civic initiatives across its operating regions.
