Compendium of Canadian CSR Projects in Africa Compendium of Canadian CSR Projects in Africa INTRODUCTION A COMPENDIUM OF CANADIAN CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES IN AFRICA* The Government of Canada encourages and expects all Canadian companies working around the world to respect all applicable laws and international standards, to operate transparently and in consultation with host governments and local communities, and to conduct their activities in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the way companies integrate social, environmental, and economic concerns into their values and operations in a transparent and accountable manner. The Government of Canada works with a host of stakeholders including Canadian businesses, civil society groups, foreign governments and local communities to address complex CSR issues, such as labour relations, environmental protection, bribery and corruption, and human rights. In March 2009, the Government of Canada announced a comprehensive CSR Strategy. Building the Canadian Advantage: a CSR Strategy for the Canadian International Extractive Sector will increase the competitiveness of Canadian extractive sector companies operating abroad by enhancing their ability to manage social and environmental risks. The four main pillars of the strategy are: 1) continuing support for host country capacitybuilding initiatives related to resource governance; 2) promotion of widelyrecognized international CSR performance guidelines; 3) creation of an Office of the Extractive Sector CSR Counsellor to assist in the resolution of issues pertaining to the activities of Canadian extractive sector companies abroad; and, 4) support for the development of a CSR Centre of Excellence to develop and disseminate highquality CSR tools, training and information to sector stakeholders. 1 In Africa, the presence of Canadian investment and business activities has grown substantially over the last decade; the reputation of Canadian CSR initiatives has also grown considerably. Canadian CSR partnerships in Africa are cited as examples of sustainable and constructive partnerships. Officials from both public and private sectors have expressed an interest in learning more about Canadian practices and involvement in the development of CSR programs. To this end, DFAIT has developed a compendium of best practices from Canadian companies operating in Africa. This showcase of Canadian practices aims to assist private and public sector organisations in the development of CSR programs and can identify potential partners to deliver such programs abroad. The compendium was researched and assembled by the Canadian Council for Africa (CCAfrica) under the leadership of the Africa Commercial Relations Division of DFAIT. The first chapter of the compendium includes twenty six CSR initiatives that are voluntary and separate from of the companies’ commercial project. The organizations presented in this section are involved in business activities in various sectors of the economy such as mining, agriculture and agrifood, financial services and consumer products and are not specialized in any way in social or economic development. The CSR initiatives developed by INTRODUCTION these companies cover a wide range of areas such as education, health, gender equity, micro-finance and water and forest management. The second chapter outlines sixteen projects that were submitted to CCAfrica by companies/organizations already specializing in the social and environmental development sector. It has been observed, over the last few years, that successful CSR programs have been implemented by companies in partnerships with these types of organizations. Hence, a section featuring social and economic development projects developed by several Canadian organizations is included as reference for companies whose expertise in this field is limited. It is important to note, that this compendium includes only a sample of CSR projects currently being conducted in Africa by Canadian companies. We hope that these projects will demonstrate where the commitment and the importance that Canadian companies place on local social and economic development in the communities where they operate. The Commercial Relation Division with Africa would be interested in receiving your feedback and comments with regard to this compendium. We would be grateful if you could complete and return the questionnaire on the next page. Thank you for your collaboration. * This publication has been prepared from information supplied by the organizations listed 2 herein.

Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

From small plaques or roadside markers to grand monuments commemo- rating a national or global event, they attempt to remind the public of individuals or a shared history. However, memorials also perform another role, and that is to not only record and display those subjects which a society deems worthy of commemoration, but also how those histories are shaped, framed and positioned to fit contemporary needs.

  • Holocaust Memory and Visuality in the Age of Social Media
    Holocaust Memory and Visuality in the Age of Social Media by Meghan Lundrigan, BA (Hons), MA A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, Meghan Lundrigan Abstract Everyday people make use of Instagram to visually share their experiences encountering Holocaust memory. Whether individuals are sharing their photos from Auschwitz, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, or of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin, this dissertation uncovers the impetus to capture and share these images by the thousands. Using visuality as a framework for analyzing how the Holocaust has been seen, photographed, and communicated historically, this dissertation argues that these individual digital images function as objects of postmemory, contributing to and cultivating an accessible visual and digital archive. Sharing these images on Instagram results in a visual, grassroots archival space where networked Holocaust visuality and memory can flourish. The Holocaust looms large in public memory. Drawing from Holocaust studies, public history, photography theory, and new media studies, this dissertation argues that the amateur Instagram image is far from static. Existing spaces of Holocaust memory create preconditions for everyday publics to share their encounters with the Holocaust on their own terms. Thus, the final networked Instagram image is the product of a series of author interventions, carefully wrought from competing narratives and Holocaust representations. The choice to photograph, edit, post, and hashtag one’s photo forges a public method for collaborating with hegemonic memory institutions.
