Aga Khan Foundation Canada and its partners support programs in four interrelated thematic areas: health, education, rural development and the enhancement of community organizations. Themes that cut across all programming include equity for women and protecting the environment. AKFC is also involved in human resources development, including education and training activities in the developed and developing world, as well as education programs and communications initiatives designed to raise awareness of international development in Canada.
