What it does
This Program delivers Canada's financial contributions in support of the seven International Assistance Themes in the region. It provides related strategic policy and operational guidance and advice to senior officials on these operations, delivers timely and effective support to senior officials participating in regional and national policy initiatives related to these themes, and ensures coherence with Canada's trade and diplomatic objectives in Region. It ensures that Canada's contributions are aligned with aid and development effectiveness principles, and with the poverty reduction priorities of Canada's bilateral development partners in the region.
