Description	Through NAEOP, CanNor supports increased participation by Indigenous communities and businesses in the territories in economic opportunities. The Program is comprised of two streams: Community Readiness and Opportunities Planning (CROP) stream, which provides project-based support to Indigenous communities and organizations for capacity and readiness activities so that communities are able to plan for, pursue and participate in economic opportunities; and Entrepreneurship and Business Development (EBD) stream, which assists Indigenous entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations in the pursuit of economic opportunities for the benefit of Indigenous people. The stream includes project-based support for activities that facilitate the establishment or expansion of Indigenous businesses.
Results achieved	Through CROP, CanNor invested over $10 million in 53 projects across the 3 territories. The funding was used for developing and maintaining economic development capacity for northern Indigenous organizations and communities as well as developing strategic economic development plans or accessing professional and technical economic development expertise. Support to Indigenous businesses continued in 2017-18 through ongoing EBD program service delivery partnerships. CanNor signed Alternate Service Delivery (ASD) agreements in 2015 with Kakivak Association, Kivalliq Partners in Development, Dana Naye Ventures, and the NWT Metis Dene Development Fund. These ASD partners funded a total of 57 projects with a combined value of approximately $4.8M dollars, while also providing local small and medium size enterprises with a variety of training opportunities and other wrap-around services. The ASDs have been able to combine business advisory, loan and EBD services to provide a more holistic business service to clients.
