What We Do in the Americas

In July 2007, Prime Minister Harper announced that "Canada is committed to playing a bigger role in the Americas". He said: "Three key objectives form the basis of our new Government's re-engagement in the Americas: to promote basic democratic values, to strengthen economic linkages and to meet new security challenges." CIDA's support to the region also reduces poverty and inequity.

As part of Canada's Aid Effectiveness Agenda, CIDA focuses on Bolivia, the Caribbean program, Colombia, Haiti, Honduras and Peru in this region.

Through its geographic programs, CIDA supports an Inter-American Regional Program.

CIDA also supports multilateral and global programs in the Americas, as well as Partnerships with Canadians Programs.
