What is IDW?

Held annually, the first full week of February, IDW highlights and illustrates the work of Canada’s development community.
IDW provides a great opportunity for Canadians to:

• increase the awareness of the role many Canadians play in international development;
• learn more about life in developing countries; and
• find out how they can become global citizens, actively involved in international development.
