About the company

Inter Pares – which means among equals – believes in solidarity, not charity, as an approach to international cooperation. For over 40 years, we have worked closely with courageous activists and more than a hundred inspiring organizations throughout the world to build peace, advance justice and globalize equality. Our programs largely focus on six global issues: food sovereignty, women’s equality, peace and democracy, economic justice, health, and migration. We work with long-term counterparts – local and national activist organizations – in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Canada. We are dedicated to empowering people in Canada and around the world to be at the center of their own development and to assert their own agency. By supporting the work of our counterparts, we help communities confront injustice, implement locally adapted solutions, spark innovative initiatives and occupy the political space that belongs to them. We are also committed to engaging Canadians in the struggles for justice and equality that people face around the world, and to offer ways to take action.
