Professional Code of Conduct
In our efforts to improve the quality of Canadian International Development Professionals in the eyes of the world, CAIDP has created a Professional Code of Conduct which we as an organization, and all our members abide by. These rules are used to guide our actions and ensure the quality of our work is never questioned.
Note that CAIDP members are obliged to have read the Professional Code of Conduct and must adhere to it at all times!
Any issue raised would be discussed by the Ethics, Governance and Privacy Committee. If action is deemed necessary, this will be brought to the attention of the Executive Committee, and will include options for dealing with the issue. If the Executive Committee agrees with the Ethics Committee, the recommended action will be submitted to the Board for a final decision.
