What it does
The International Assistance Operations Bureau (DPD) is responsible for providing deputy ministers with advice and support that ensures consistent operationalization of international assistance programs across the Department. It translates approved strategic policy priorities into program implementation guidance. It coordinates implementation across programme bureaux according to available resources as determined by the Chief Financial Officer.
