The Canadian Partnership for Women and Children's Health, most commonly known as CanWaCH, is an umbrella not for profit organization that unites Canadian organizations working on women and child's health. It has a focus on reproductive health.
The organization was officially incorporated as a not for profit in 2015 in Peterborough, Ontario.
Activities are funded by the Government of Canada.
In 2018, CanWaCH launched the Canadian Collaborative in Global Health initiative to improve collaboration between Canadian global health organizations working towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
In 2021, CanWaCH collaborated with the Canadian International Council and Global Canada on a 400-person collaborative democratic process called Foreign Policy by Canadians. The participants discussed issues including gender equity, social justice, the environment, Indigenous rights, and the environment. The process concluded that Canadians felt that Canada was not doing enough to improve women and children's health within its own borders.
Other activities include providing commentary on federal government spending.
