Description

For over twenty-five years Canadians have considered the activities and programs of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) to be the most important international expression of Canadian social values. Consonant with this, the government has always claimed that CIDA's primary objective is to meet the basic human and development needs of the poorest countries and peoples. Many have argued, however, that narrow commercial and foreign policy considerations have often proven more decisive than humanitarian concerns. This collection of essays provides contemporary and independent analyses of the major components of the Canadian aid program, the major issues which have challenged and perplexed CIDA, and the many and conflicting pressures that have influenced the agency.
