Image and reputation of Canadian development

Image and reputation of Canadian development

Are Canadians competitive internationally?

Embassy - Canada's Foreign Policy Newspaper reports that the new contribution agreements developed by CIDA now contain a requirement to get approval of all communications (which includes activities such as announcements, interviews, press releases, publications, websites and advertising, etc.). CIDA is requiring 60 days for approval. So that should have an impact on CIDAs profile offshore and the efficiency of the operations.

Many members have expressed the view that other countries support the participation of their private sector in development more than Canada does. Attached please find a listing of other government support for which there are no Canadian equivalents.
