Universities and Colleges Program
The Canadian Partnership Branch is currently reviewing its programs to ensure that its priorities align with Canada's Aid Effectiveness Agenda announced in 2009. As part of this Agenda, the Minister indicated that 80 percent of Canada's bilateral assistance will be focused in 20 countries and that CIDA will concentrate on the following priority themes; increasing food security, stimulating sustainable economic growth and securing the future of children and youth. The two other priority themes - democratic governance and security - will be pursued across the government.
As the review progresses, we will update this site. In the meantime, please submit proposals as per usual process.
