Where does CIDA work?
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has a worldwide reach!
In developing countries, CIDA works with development partners in regions and countries where CIDA programs and projects are implemented. When crises, conflicts, and natural disasters demand a timely response, CIDA is there.
Over the years, CIDA has been present around the world. By 2010, the Agency will increasingly place a focus on a core group of 25 development partner countries, most of which are in Africa. These countries have demonstrated that they can use aid effectively. They are also countries where Canada is able to provide the resources and expertise necessary to contribute significantly to their development priorities. Commitments made to countries and partners before April 2005 will continue to be honoured.
Here in Canada, CIDA headquarters is located in Gatineau, Quebec. As well, a series of regional offices are in place across the country to better engage with partners, individuals, the private sector, and civil society. |
