| IDRC responds to the Canadian Prime Minister’s challenge |
News 3 of 6
As a follow-up to a retreat held by the Prime Minister of Canada in September 2005 with Heads of Canadian Development Agencies, IPS collaborated with the Policy and Planning Group of IDRC to produce a short strategic proposal from IDRC to respond to the Prime Minister's Challenge that Canada should dedicate at least 5% of its R&D efforts towards international development. The Chair of IDRC’s Board of Governors sent the proposal directly to the Prime Minister. Ideas contained in the IDRC paper have been shared with Dr. Arthur Carty, Canada's National Science Advisor, and work is continuing in partnership with other key federal organizations to refine specific proposals for a possible Fall financial update or Spring federal budget.
