Who are we
The Anti-Racist Cooperation (ARC) Hub is a dedicated coordination secretariat and a resource center for the sector: the ARC Hub is hosted by Cooperation Canada and funded by Global Affairs Canada. Our goal is to help Canadian international development and humanitarian organizations improve their ability integrate anti-racism and intersectional feminism into their work in the creation of resources, knowledge sharing spaces, networks of support and trainings.

Anti-racism Framework
The Anti-racism Framework is a starting point for Canada’s international cooperation sector to inform its approach to anti-racism in a collective and proactive way, one that leaves room for collaboration, knowledge sharing and continuous learning. The Framework should not be considered an achievement but an inclusive springboard for future anti-racism efforts.
2021 Annual Report
The "Collective Commitment: Emergin Anti-Racist Practice for Canadian International Cooperation" acts as the inaugural baseline report
to assess the extent of anti-racism efforts in
Canada’s international cooperation sector and
build collaborative and evidence-based strategies
to promote human rights, achieve equitable
outcomes and address the sector’s legacy of racial bias.
2022 Annual Report
This 2022 annual progress report Collective Commitment: Sustaining Efforts Towards Anti-Racist Change in Canada’s International Cooperation Sector follows up on the 2021 report in an effort to encourage progress and maintain accountability for sector commitments towards dismantling racism in Canada’s work in international cooperation. There was an increase of 11 organizations signing onto the Framework.
2023 Annual Report
The 2023 Collective Commitment Report serves as a check-in, tracking the progress made by signatory organizations to advance ARC commitments and implement recommendations towards equitable transformation. This year, the report represents the findings from the abbreviated short-form survey. The survey is divided into five sections, consisting of 17 distinct questions and one follow-up question.
