Canada’s official development assistance programming is wide-ranging and
diverse, reaching deep into the developing world to improve lives and create
the conditions that allow societies to become more self-sufficient. We
contribute because we are among those countries fortunate enough to have the
resources to make a difference, and also because the ideals of caring and
compassion are deeply woven into the fabric of who we are.
