<p>The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is the lead player in delivering Canada's official development assistance program.</p>
<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#006322"><B>What we do</B><BR></FONT>
<P>The cornerstone of our development assistance program is to support sustainable development in order to reduce poverty and to contribute to a more secure, equitable and prosperous world.
<p>Development is an enormous global effort. It is a complex, long-term process that involves all of the world's people, and governments and organizations at all levels.
<p>Canada, like other industrialized countries, provides development assistance in the form of goods, services, the transfer of knowledge and skills, and financial contributions.
<p>Working with partners in the private and public sectors in Canada and in developing countries and with international organizations and agencies, we support foreign aid projects in more than 100 of the poorest countries in the world.
<p>The objective is to work with developing countries and countries in transition to develop the tools to eventually meet their own needs.
<P>To do this, we concentrate our efforts on six priority areas:
<UL type="square">
<LI>basic human needs
<LI>women in development
<LI>infrastructure services
<LI>human rights, democracy, good governance
<LI>private-sector development
<LI>the environment
