The Ministère des Relations internationales (MRI) supports joint efforts by Québec civil society and Southern communities aimed at fair, sustainable development. Efforts in this area are deployed in partnership with Québec international cooperation organizations with experience in development assistance.

Most of these organizations are members of the Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (AQOCI), a major MRI partner. The organizations’ missions focus on human development, cooperation and international solidarity. Located in various regions of Québec, they are actively involved in a number of developing countries, particularly in French-speaking Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.

• Support for development initiatives by Southern communities, under the Québec International Development Program ;
• Support for public commitment to international solidarity, via a program to heighten public awareness of development and international solidarity issues and a program to support educational efforts by international cooperation organizations.
