Economic Programs

Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada's (AANDC's) economic development programs support economic development in First Nation and Inuit communities by providing funding to community organizations for their economic development initiatives and delivery of services.

The Community Economic Development Program provides core financial support intended for community economic development planning and capacity development initiatives. The Community Economic Opportunities Program provides project-based support to First Nation and Inuit communities that have opportunities for public services in economic development.
