What it does
This Program coordinates the work of government officials at headquarters and abroad, in missions throughout the region. Initiatives by these officials advance Canada’s values and interests, and implement departmental priorities with respect to the region and, as appropriate, regional organizations. Activities include representing Canada at diplomatic events, gathering and disseminating related information; preparing policy recommendations; building networks of interest with government, civil society and other target audiences; engaging in advocacy outreach, including traditional and digital; cultural diplomacy; and coherent support for Canada’s trade, international assistance, security, consular and other interests. The Program ensures that corporate planning and reporting requirements are met and ensures that financial and human resources are aligned to serve Canada’s interests in a strategic, efficient and effective manner.
