“Across all of its activities, CIDA is focused on two strategic outcomes. The first relates to Canada’s contribution to international development goals. Canada, as part of the broader donor community, contributes to the goals of poverty reduction in line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and democratic governance objectives. Progress across these development goals and others is the result of partnerships with key stakeholders such as recipient countries themselves; multilateral, international, and Canadian institutions; the private sector; non-governmental organizations; and other government departments. The second strategic outcome relates to ensuring that Canadians play a vital role in international development. Canadians help to make Canada’s development effort stronger through their financial and in-kind support, and their innovative ideas.”
