CDEV Job Board
Program Coordinator
Description
Organizational Profile
The launch of the federal Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program (“ILGP”) moves Indigenous economic reconciliation from discussion to action. This historic milestone makes participation in Canada's economic prosperity a reality for the country's Indigenous Peoples. It removes some of the historic barriers to Indigenous economic growth while creating new possibilities that will benefit the entire country. The economic success of Indigenous Peoples is the success of all Canadians.
ILGP is a signature federal initiative of $10 billion in loan guarantees to support Indigenous equity ownership in major projects across Canada. It addresses long-standing financial barriers to the participation of Indigenous groups in major projects and allows them to become commercial partners on their traditional territory.
ILGP is delivered by the Canada Indigenous Loan Guarantee Corporation (CILGC), which is a subsidiary of the Canada Development Investment Corporation (CDEV). CDEV is a federal Crown corporation that manages critical financial transactions for the Government of Canada. CILGC’s role includes engaging with eligible applicants, conducting due diligence, negotiating agreements, and issuing loan guarantees that empower Indigenous groups to take part in economic opportunities.
