Geographic Programs

cost-sharing partnerships with civil-society and private sector organizations in Canada and developing countries. Multi-year funding is provided, on the basis of merit, to
Canadian and international NGOs and volunteer-sending organizations. Project funding is also provided through competitive mechanisms within the context of either
time-bound or open-ended competitions. In addition, a conference secretariat supports the participation of developing country delegates at international conferences.
Expected Results: Canada's development assistance, through voluntary and private sector partnerships, contributes to the achievement of the MDGs, as part of the worldwide collaborative effort of donors and partner countries.
