2008 partnership report

2008 PARTNERSHIP
REPORT
Be Part of the Solution to
Global Poverty.
Dear Friends,
On behalf of Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) we wish to extend our sincere thanks to you
for your support of the 2008 World Partnership Walk and World Partnership Golf, both of which
were resounding successes.
Your commitment to the alleviation of global poverty enabled us to surpass our 2008 fundraising
expectations. Together, these events raised an unprecedented $7 million, and attracted tens of
thousands of participants across the country.
We are particularly excited to see the World Partnership Golf tournaments, which take place
in six cities, coming into their own, and, according to participants, setting a new standard for
golf events.
Funds raised this year will enable AKFC to continue to expand the scope and depth of dozens of
programs in the developing world and to initiate new programs.
Your support is a tangible sign of the worthiness of the cause and is necessary to the ongoing
work of AKFC and its partners in the Aga Khan Development Network.
As we look ahead to 2009, we will be commemorating 25 years of partnership with Canada and
Canadians through the Walk and 10 years of partnership through Golf. These milestones follow
on the heels of a quarter century of collaboration with the Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA).
Our first partnership in Northern Pakistan required us to take a calculated risk. Poor, isolated
communities were mobilizing scarce resources in the hopes of improving their lives and
livelihoods. Over time, the results were impressive: literary rates soared, especially for women,
incomes rose and thousands of community organizations were established to help manage the
process of change. Canadians helped fuel this experiment, which today represents a model for
the world.
We must not underestimate the significance of these anniversaries. Our relationship with CIDA,
built on the trust that comes from genuine collaboration, would not have been possible without
the deep involvement of Canadians in our partnership events.
From the time volunteers devote to the organization of these events to the financial
contributions of individuals and corporate supporters, Walk and Golf remain vital links between
Canadians and communities in the developing world.
Your commitment is also a vote of confidence in the ability of Canada and Canadians to lead
on global issues. For these reasons it is fitting that we continue to celebrate the Power of
Partnership in 2009.
Once again, we thank you for your support and sincerely hope you will join us next year, when
we gather as friends, families and Canadians in a common effort to end global poverty.

Chers amis/chères amies,
Au nom de la Fondation Aga Khan Canada, nous désirons par la présente vous adresser nos
remerciements les plus sincères pour le soutien que vous avez apporté à l’édition 2008 de la Marche
des partenaires mondiaux et du Golf des partenaires mondiaux, ces deux événements ayant obtenu un
succès retentissant.
Votre engagement envers la lutte contre la pauvreté dans le monde nous a en effet permis de surpasser
nos attentes de collecte de fonds pour 2008. Ces événements à eux deux ont permis de recueillir la
somme record de 7 millions de dollars, et d’attirer des dizaines de milliers de participant(e)s à travers le
pays pays.
Les fonds amassés cette année vont permettre à la Fondation de continuer d’élargir la portée des
dizaines de programmes mis en œuvre dans le monde en développement et d’en lancer de nouveaux.
Votre soutien est un signe tangible du bien fondé de la cause, et est nécessaire au travail permanent de
la Fondation et de ses partenaires du Réseau Aga Khan de développement.
Alors que nous nous tournons maintenant vers l’année 2009, nous allons nous préparer à célébrer 25
années de partenariat avec le Canada et sa population dans le cadre de la Marche, et dix années de
partenariat en ce qui concerne le golf. Ces dates importantes arrivent dans la foulée d’un quart de siècle
de collaboration avec l’Agence canadienne de développement international (ACDI).
Notre tout premier partenariat dans le nord du Pakistan nous a permis de prendre un risque calculé. En
effet, des communautés pauvres et isolées ont mobilisé de rares ressources dans l’espoir d’améliorer
leur vie et leurs moyens d’existence. Au fil du temps, les résultats se sont avérés impressionnants : les
taux d’alphabétisation ont explosé, particulièrement chez les femmes, les revenus ont augmenté et
des milliers d’organisations communautaires ont été créées pour faciliter la gestion du processus de
changement. Les Canadiens et Canadiennes ont permis à cette expérience d’être couronnée de succès,
laquelle aujourd’hui constitue un véritable modèle pour le monde entier.
Nous ne devons toutefois pas sous estimer l’importance de ces anniversaires. En effet, nos relations avec
l’ACDI, qui repose sur la confiance qui vient d’une collaboration véritable, n’aurait certainement pas été
possible sans la grande participation des Canadiens et Canadiennes à nos événements de partenariat.
Qu’il s’agisse du temps que les bénévoles consacrent à l’organisation de tels événements ou encore des
contributions financières d’individus et d’entreprises, la Marche et le Golf restent des liens vitaux entre
les Canadiens et Canadiennes et les communautés du monde en développement.
Votre engagement est aussi un véritable vote de confiance dans la capacité du Canada et de sa
population à jouer un rôle moteur dans les grands dossiers de ce monde. C’est donc pour ces raisons
que nous nous devons de continuer de célébrer la Puissance des partenariats en 2009.
Nous vous remercions une fois de plus pour votre soutien et espérons sincèrement que vous serez des
nôtres l’année prochaine lorsque nous nous retrouverons en tant qu’amis, familles et Canadiens et
Canadiennes dans un effort commun pour mettre fin à la pauvreté dans le monde.

World Partnership Walk 2008
Quick Facts:
Took place in nine cities
Raised $5.7 million: a 14% increase over 2007
Attracted close to 70,000 walkers, sponsors and donors
Media coverage increased 50% over previous year
Highlights
The 2008 campaign saw the Vancouver and Victoria
editions of the Walk join in British Columbia’s 150th
anniversary celebration. A joint announcement by
Tourism, Sport and Arts Minister Stan Hagen, and the
Chairman of AKFC’s National Committee, Amin Lalji
underscored the shared values that underpin BC’s
longstanding support of the Walk, which started nearly
25 years ago in Vancouver.
In Toronto, Minister of Education, Kathleen Wynne,
and Minister of Health and Long-term care, George
Smitherman, who were Guests of Honour at the Walk,
spoke to a vibrant Toronto crowd about the role of health
and learning as instrumental in empowering communities
in the fight against global poverty. Other notable guests
included Michael de Jong and Mayor Sam Sullivan who
attended the Vancouver Walk and Mayor Carl Zehr who
attended the Walk in Kitchener.
Distinguished leaders from business and academia
included Dr. Huguette Labelle, Chancellor of the University
of Ottawa, Dr. Yvan Allaire, Chairman of the Institute
for Governance of Private and Public Organizations at
HEC in Montreal; Hon. David Anderson, President of the
World Fisheries Trust and Dr. Sandra McCallum, Professor
Emeritus, University of Victoria; Mr. Mike Keenan, Coach
of the Calgary Flames.

Teams and Ambassadors
Now more than ever, Canadians are aware of the
difference they can make in the world. Whether they are
bettering their own communities or helping to improve
lives beyond our borders, Canadians have a tradition
of responding to those in need. This year, thousands of
Canadians chose to participate in the Walk as an individual
Ambassador, or as members of a corporate or community
team. We’d like to thank all those who helped to raise
funds for the 2008 Walk.
World Partnership Golf 2008
Quick Facts:
Took place in six cities
Raised $1.3 million: a 30% increase over 2007
Attracted close to 1,000 golfers and 280 corporate
supporters -- reaching capacity in most cities for a second
consecutive year
Highlights
According to participants, World Partnership Golf is
quickly becoming the gold standard among philanthropic
golf tournaments. The loyalty of participants and the
speed with which tournaments sell out suggest that
WPG is a meaningful and enjoyable way for Canadian
corporations to channel their giving. Certainly, few events
can claim the same level of participation and dedication
on behalf of volunteers, with hardly a detail left to chance
either on or off the green.
Donor Doubles the Drive
For close to twenty years, Zahir Karim, a long time
supporter of AKFC, has contributed generously to the
Walk and Golf events. In 2008, he pledged to match
corporate donations to World Partnership Golf in all six
cities. Business leaders rose to the challenge, donating
an estimated $200,000 to AKFC’s poverty alleviating
programs.

swing at

poverty.

Your dollars at work
Vos dollars à l’œuvre
Funds raised through World Partnership Walk and World
Partnership Golf help Aga Khan Foundation Canada
support a broad range of programs in health, education,
rural development and the strengthening of community
based organizations. In 2008, our partnership events
helped AKFC to secure grants from the Canadian
International Development Agency (CIDA) to support the
new and ongoing programs.
Les fonds recueillis dans le cadre de la Marche des
partenaires mondiaux et du Golf des partenaires
mondiaux permettent à la Fondation Aga Khan d’appuyer
une vaste gamme de programmes dans les domaines
de la santé, de l’éducation, du développement rural et
du renforcement des organisations communautaires. En
2008, nos événements de partenariat ont ainsi donné à
la Fondation la possibilité d’obtenir des subventions de
l’Agence canadienne de développement international
(ACDI) pour financer divers programmes, aussi bien les
nouveaux que ceux déjà en place.
Recent additions to AKFC’s portfolio include the Girl’s
Education Support Program, a five-year initiative
committed to improving girl’s education in Afghanistan;
and the Cairo Economic Livelihoods Program, which
will help the residents of an impoverished but historic
neighborhood to use the restoration of their heritage
and traditional crafts as a springboard for the creation of
new enterprises and employment opportunities.
Tout récemment, les programmes suivants sont
venus s’ajouter au portefeuille de la Fondation, soit le
Programme de soutien à l’éducation des jeunes filles,
une initiative sur cinq ans destinée à améliorer le niveau
d’études des jeunes filles en Afghanistan, et le Programme
d’amélioration des moyens d’existence du Caire, qui
permettra aux résidents d’un quartier pauvre mais
historique d’utiliser la restauration de leur patrimoine
et le recours à des métiers traditionnels pour créer de
nouvelles entreprises et des possibilités d’emplois.
Girl’s education in Afghanistan
This year, the Girls Education Support Program (GESP) began
working with communities, educators and government at
the local, provincial and national level to improve access
to education for girls, as well as the quality of teaching and
learning in a safe and supportive environment. Building on
more than two decades of experience in East Africa and
South and Central Asia, AKFC and CIDA support programs that
enable girls and women to fulfill their educational potential
and become catalyst for positive change in their communities.
Programme d’aide à l’éducation des jeunes
filles en Afghanistan
Cette année, le Programme d’aide à l’éducation des
jeunes filles (GESP) a commencé à travailler avec des
communautés, des éducateurs et le gouvernement aux
niveaux local, provincial et national, dans le but d’améliorer
l’accès aux études pour les jeunes filles, ainsi que la qualité
de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage dans un milieu
sécuritaire et favorable. En s’appuyant sur plus de deux
décennies d’expérience en Afrique orientale et en Asie
du Sud et centrale, la Fondation et l’ACDI ont financé des
programmes qui donnent aux jeunes filles et aux femmes la
possibilité d’atteindre leur potentiel en matière d’éducation
et de devenir de véritables agents catalyseurs pour un
changement positif dans leurs communautés.

New livelihoods in old Cairo
In Darb al-Ahmar, an impoverished neighborhood in the heart of
old Cairo, a new program is drawing on modern business principles
to revitalize traditional crafts. The neighbourhood is adjacent to the
Al-Azhar Park, one of Cairo’s few green spaces developed by the Aga
Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). The program will reduce poverty and
promote local economic growth through vocational training, job
counselling and job placement services and financial and business
development services, underpinned by civil society strengthening
activities and policy engagement.
De nouveaux moyens d’existence dans les vieux
quartiers du Caire
À Darb al-Ahmar, un quartier pauvre au centre même du vieux
Caire, un nouveau programme s’appuie sur des principes d’affaires
modernes pour redonner vie à des métiers traditionnels. Ce quartier
est adjacent au parc Al-Azhar, l’un des rares espaces verts du Caire
créé par le Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). Ce programme a pour
but de réduire la pauvreté et de promouvoir la croissance économique
locale par la formation professionnelle, des services de conseils et de
placements en vue d’emploi, ainsi que des services d’aide financière
et commerciale, avec l’appui d’activités de renforcement de la société
civile et l’engagement politique.

Nurturing early learning in East Africa
In 2008, Madrasa Early Childhood Development Program celebrated
25 years. In that time, the project has led to the establishment of
quality, affordable and sustainable community-based early childhood
development centres open to children of all faiths, cultures and
ethnicities. The Madrasa Program has benefited over 54,000
children in Mombasa, Kampala and Zanzibar and has trained over
5,000 teachers and 2,500 school committee members. Research
results indicate that students who have attended a madrasa make a
better transition into and through primary school than their peers.
In a quarter century, the program has transformed thinking on
the importance of pre-school to life-long learning in impoverished
communities.

En 2008, le Programme de développement de la petite enfance en madrasa a célébré son 25e anniversaire. Au cours
de ce quart de siècle, ce projet a permis de créer des centres de développement de la petite enfance au niveau
communautaire, de qualité, abordables et durables, à l’intention d’enfants de toute religion, culture et ethnie. Ce
programme a ainsi profité à plus de 54 000 enfants à Mombasa, Kampala et Zanzibar, et a formé quelque 5 000
enseignants et 2 500 membres de comités scolaires. Les résultats d’une recherche révèlent que les élèves qui ont assisté
au cours d’une madrasa sont en mesure d’effectuer une meilleure transition vers l’école primaire que leurs pairs. En un
quart de siècle, ce programme a complètement transformé la façon de penser à l’importance des études préscolaires
pour l’apprentissage durant toute la vie dans les communautés les plus pauvres.

In partnership with the The Globe and
Mail, AKFC was profiled in a two-part
supplement to raise awareness of the
Walk and its Canadian supporters.
Dave Macfarlane, City Chair for the
World Partnership Walk in Vancouver,
and Linnea Duignan, the new Convenor
of World Partnership Golf in Toronto,
who traveled to AKFC-supported
programs in Kenya in November 2007
were profiled in this story, which ran
in the April 26th Globe Life section.

Unexpected Journeys
Canadian volunteers see a world of opportunity in rural Kenya
It may not have felt like a life-changing experience at the
time, but for a group of visitors from Canada, a walk down
a hot, dusty road in coastal Kenya late last year, was a
turning point in their commitment to alleviating poverty in
the developing world.
“I had a typical TV image of poverty in my head,” said
Dave Macfarlane. “ I thought of Live Aid in the eighties
and what a disappointment it was that nothing changed.”
Linnea Duignan, an architect from Toronto, had a similar
vision, and wanted to learn more about how development
works and why it often seems to fail.
Like many Canadians, Dave and Linnea believe more
can be done to overcome poverty. Both are volunteers
for Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC), and help raise
funds through the World Partnership Walk and World
Partnership Golf. They see this as a meaningful way to link
corporate Canada to aid efforts in Asia and Africa. The selffunded trip to Kenya was an opportunity to see whether
their efforts in Canada were making a difference in poor
communities.
“Canadians are no different than any other people,” said
Linnea. “They need assurance that the very best is made
of their generosity.”
Having abandoned the air-conditioned van at the highway,
the Canadians, many of whom had never travelled out of
North America, were not quite sure what to expect as they
trudged into Makuti, a village made up of mud and grass
huts.
Communities in Coast Province, northern Kenya, struggle
to meet basic needs. Drought, inflation and HIV/AIDS
have forced 70 percent of the population into poverty. For
seven months of the year, people only eat one meal a day,
and 35 percent of the population has no formal education.
The last thing Dave and Linnea expected was to be greeted
by a group of successful women entrepreneurs.
In Makuti, women are using small loans provided by the
Coastal Rural Support Programme to strengthen the fabric
of economic life, benefiting thousands of impoverished
communities in Asia and Africa.
With their first loan of $50 they began producing cassava
chips, a popular snack sold in local markets. With the next
loan they purchased a few chickens for breeding and now
supply the kitchen of a large Nairobi hospital. The women,
who borrow as a collective, guarantee each other’s loans,
so repayment averages 98 percent.
The group has also invested in improving the water supply
to the village – an initiative that has reduced the amount
of time women spend fetching water, improved crop
irrigation, and reduced water-borne disease.
“They were the most powerful group I’d seen in a long
time, anywhere, including North America,” said Dave. “At
that point I knew we were making a difference.”
Micro-credit is only part of the picture. The Coastal
Rural Support Programme, in 168 villages in Kwalke and
Kilifi districts, helps communities identify their priorities
then guides them in finding the resources – financial or
technical – needed to realize their plan.
Village organizations are tackling a range of issues,
from education to infrastructure. Small loans fund the
development process and demonstrate to communities
that even with very limited resources they have the means
to make long-term, positive change.
This was an eye-opener for Linnea. “I didn’t understand
the measures required to alleviate poverty -- that longterm goals are what are needed, rather than short-term
handouts.”
The trip brought a new awareness of the complexities
of development work, but also a sense of hope and
possibility, said Dave.
“From my Canadian business perspective, we want results
in the next quarter,” he said. “These communities are on a
minimum 25-year plan, but I believe they have the tools to
continue to improve their lives.”

Young professionals take an unconventional
step on career path
It might have been one internship too many that
ended without hope of a job, but a few years ago Tim
Querengesser, a young reporter from Ontario swore to his
friends that unpaid work was behind him.
“Even if it means working the pet beat at a newspaper in a
one-intersection town in northern Saskatchewan,” he told
them. He took a job with the Yukon News in Whitehorse,
working the legislative beat and winning a journalism
award.
Then, Tim came across an internship opportunity with
Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) and the Nation
Media Group in Kenya. Within a few months he was in
Kenya, a country of 35 million people, soon to be in the
grip of ethnic clashes, sparked by a flawed presidential
election. His stories for the Daily Nation and for Canadian
newspapers helped shed light on how poverty and politics
fueled the violence.
“Here I was in Nairobi, Kisumu and Eldoret, when much
of the country had decided to go to war,” Tim said. “For
all of it, my notebook, camera, eyes and ears have been
present.”
While not a typical internship, Tim’s experience reflects
the kind of real-world opportunity many young Canadians
are looking for. Rapid integration of the world economy
means that professionals want meaningful international
experience.
The Aga Khan Foundation Canada fellowship program
offers a chance to understand the economic and
human potential of the developing world. Programs in
journalism, microfinance and micro-enterprise, as well as
development management send approximately 30 young
Canadians to work for organizations in Asia and Africa.
The program is rooted in the notion that young people are
one the richest resources Canada has to offer the world.
Well-educated and outward-looking, young professionals
gain real experience in some of the most challenging
environments.
University of Calgary business school graduate Carolyn
Davis recently returned from Madagascar where she
was working with the First Microfinance Agency, a notfor-profit bank underwritten by the Aga Khan Agency for
Microfinance.

Foundation Canada, visiting clients near Port-Bergé, Madagascar.
Far from life in corporate Canada, on any given day her
job might involve liaising with the central bank on policy
issues, or fording a river with a laptop on her head to visit
clients.
The experience has transformed her understanding of
how business principles can be applied in the developing
world.
“This was a really fine opportunity to marry what I had
learned in business school and my social conscience,
gained growing up in Calgary,” said Davis.
As they polish their resumes and contemplate the
inevitable search for their next job, both Querengesser
and Davis say they won’t compromise their ideals for the
sake of a pay cheque. “Now I have renewed confidence to
keep at this profession,” said Tim. “No more relegation to
the pet beat, either.”
Corporate Supporters
Commanditaires institutionnels
AKFC would not be one of Canada’s foremost
development partners without the ongoing
commitment of Corporate Canada to the World
Partnership Walk and World Partnership Golf. These
events offer unique opportunities to demonstrate
support, locally and nationally, for the cause of global
poverty alleviations.
La Fondation ne pourrait aucunement être l’un des
partenaires du développement les plus innovatrices du
Canada sans l’engagement permanent du milieu des
affaires canadien à la Marche des partenaires mondiaux
et au Golf des partenaires mondiaux. Ces événements
leur offrent en effet des occasions uniques de faire la
démonstration de leur soutien, aux niveaux local et
national, à la lutte contre la pauvreté dans le monde.
