Canadian International Development Agency
CIDA's mandate is to support sustainable development in developing countries in order to reduce poverty and contribute to a more secure, equitable, and prosperous world. The Agency's work is concentrated in the poorest countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. CIDA also supports democratic development and economic liberalization in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and supports international efforts to reduce threats to international and Canadian security.

CIDA's program is based on the Millennium Development Goals, to which it contributes through the following four key areas:

CIDA priorities

Social development

* Basic education, child protection, health and nutrition, HIV/AIDS

In Tanzania, CIDA support to the non-governmental organization Marie Stopes Tanzania has helped establish and run 9 clinics and 61 outreach sites. Over the past 4 years, more than 495,000 clients visited the facilities, exceeding expectations by 25 percent. In addition, more than 25,500 people sought help for STD/HIV infections and 11,500 were treated for HIV/AIDS.

Economic well-being

* Economic growth and improved living standards for the poor through a renewed focus on agricultural development and private sector development

In Senegal, a CIDA-supported program to strengthen the PAMECAS (Programme d'appui aux mutuelles d'épargne et de crédit au Sénégal) network of savings and loans institutions has helped make credit available to the poorest of the poor, mainly rural women. The network's institutions are now financially self-sustaining, and the value of loans is increasing on average by 39 percent a year. Membership has grown from 73,540 to 83,744, and 60 percent of the members are women.

Environmental sustainability

* Protection, conservation, and management of the environment

CIDA supports a training program in greenhouse gas emission eduction for the oil and gas sector in Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. This program is helping companies to identify and develop greenhouse gas emission-reduction projects to be funded under the Kyoto Protocol or by other means.

Governance

* Human rights, democracy and good governance

CIDA was one of the first donors to fund the Anti-Corruption Unit in the Vice-President's Office of the Government of Bolivia. This unit has sent a powerful message that corruption will no longer be tolerated. Complaints from the public are processed, investigated, and resolved by this unit and several cases have resulted in legal charges against public officials.

In all areas of CIDA's work, equality between women and men is promoted and supported. CIDA also funds programs that benefit women directly. In Pakistan, CIDA-supported training programs have helped thousands of women to become involved in municipal politics, and 43,000 have won seats as councillors. Training has also helped the women to be more effective advocates for gender equality in their own communities.

Global Knowledge Partnership
he Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP) is a worldwide network committed to harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for sustainable and equitable development. GKP’s vision is a world of equal opportunities where all people can access and use knowledge and information to improve their lives. The network enables the sharing of information, experiences and resources to help reduce poverty and empower people.

Within the GKP framework, governments, civil society groups, donor agencies, private sector companies and inter-governmental organisations come together as equals to apply ICTs for development (ICT4D). Such alliances are known as 'multi-stakeholder partnerships' (MSPs), a relatively new approach to forging collaborations among different sectors sharing a common vision and goal. ....More
International Action Network on Small Arms, UK
T he International Action Network on Small Arms is the global network of civil society organisations working to stop the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons (SALW). World attention is increasingly focused on the humanitarian impact of these weapons, and IANSA brings together the voices and activities of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and concerned individuals across the world to prevent their deadly effects.

Founded in 1998, IANSA has grown rapidly to more than 500 participant groups in nearly 100 countries, with representation from many gun-affected regions. IANSA is composed of a wide range of organisations concerned with small arms, including policy development organisations, national gun control groups, research institutes, aid agencies, faith groups, victims, human rights and community action organisations. ....More
International Alert, UK
International Alert was established in 1985 by a group of human rights advocates led by the former Secretary-General of Amnesty International, Martin Ennals, in response to growing concerns expressed by those working in international development agencies, human rights organisations and those involved in the issues of ethnic conflict and genocide. They recognised that the denial of human rights often led to internal armed conflicts which in turn undermined efforts to protect individual and collective human rights and to promote sustainable development. ....More
International Council on Social Welfare, Canada
The International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW), founded in Paris in 1928, is a non-governmental organisation which now represents national and local organisations in more than 50 countries throughout the world. Our membership also includes a number of major international organisations.

Our member organisations collectively represent tens of thousands of community organisations which work directly at the grass-roots with people in poverty, hardship or distress. Almost all of them are independent organisations working in their own communities rather than branches of organisations based in other countries. Many have been established by people who are themselves experiencing hardship.

Within their own communities, our network of organisations provides help for a wide range of people who are poor, ill, disabled, unemployed, frail or oppressed. They help young people, older people, families, indigenous peoples, migrants, refugees and others who are experiencing special hardship or vulnerability. ....More
Saferworld, UK
Every minute of every day one person throughout the world is killed by armed violence. But it is not just the victims and their families who are affected. Communities need security to develop and prosper; insecurity can lock them into a cycle of poverty.

Saferworld is an independent, non-governmental organisation that is working to prevent armed violence and create safer communities. Of course, preventing violent conflict is no easy task. Many of the issues are complex, there is rarely a 'quick fix' and each situation has a unique set of problems. So a comprehensive approach to identify and tackle all aspects of the problem is crucial.

This is why Saferworld works with those involved at every level: international bodies, governments and non-government organisations - including local organisations whose knowledge is vital to complement our own research and experience. ....More
