Crises, Conflicts and Natural Disasters
| |
This section presents an overview of where the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is making a difference today.
Human suffering caused by natural disasters, armed conflict and economic, political or environmental crises prompts an understandable desire to help. Canadians have always responded generously to international appeals for assistance in times of emergency and disaster.
As Canada’s lead agency for development assistance, CIDA ensures that Canada’s response is timely and appropriate.
Working in coordination with other government departments, CIDA answers to a variety of critical needs around the world. CIDA’s responses reflect its mandate to contribute to a more secure, equitable, and prosperous world.
