Toronto Centre

Established in 1998 in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis, Toronto Centre is an independent non-profit organization founded by the Government of Canada, the World Bank and the Schulich School of Business (Toronto). IMF and Sida are also strong supporters and funders.

A key outcome of our training is effecting change in institutions to overcome weak governance and supervision, which is critical to anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and other aspects of financial stability and sustainable economic growth. In turn, stable, sustainable economic growth is a vital enabler for infrastructure investments, strengthening international trade, and poverty reduction as confirmed by the UN 2030 Sustainable Development global consensus and Addis Ababa Action Agenda. Our mission also supports the implementation of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy.

Since our inception, we have trained more than 28,000 mid- to senior-level officials from 190 jurisdictions.
