This project is part of DFATD’s International Youth Internship Program (IYIP), which is within the Career Focus stream of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy (YES). The IYIP is designed to offer young Canadian post-secondary graduates the opportunity to gain professional experience through international development work. The Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives, University of Victoria, provides 20 young Canadians (women and men) the opportunity to work alongside innovative and dynamic civil society leaders who are improving the livelihoods of marginalized migrant communities. Interns work collaboratively with Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) and local partner organizations (LPOs) that form a network of over 230 civil society organizations focused on migrant rights. The interns assist these organisations to address the needs of migrants, particularly women and children, who are especially vulnerable to poverty, food insecurity, precarious employment, and human rights abuses. When interns return they receive assistance with transitioning their skills to the Canadian workplace and have the opportunity to tell Canadians about their experience.

This project aims to improve the ability of emerging leaders in developing countries to implement innovative solutions to development challenges, influence public policy and take on key decision-making roles in their countries. The project provides training at the Coady Institute to more than 1,500 women and men from government, private sector and civic organizations in four areas: (i) supporting inclusive and sustainable economic growth; (ii) building resilient communities focused on food security and natural resources management; (iii) building accountable democracies; and (iv) empowering women and girls as leaders.
