(3) Technical and financial assistance under paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision:
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is the primary agency responsible
for the disbursement of Canadian official development assistance (ODA).  CIDA delivers programs
through bilateral (government-to-government) channels, partnership programs, as well as throughmultilateral channels.
In FY2000/2001, Canada provided a total of $2.59 billion in ODA, of which CIDA managed
$2.05 billion.  $136.8 million was channelled via the International Development Research Centre
(IDRC) which undertakes bilateral projects with a scientific or research focus.  The Department ofForeign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) is responsible for a small portion of ODA for certain
grants and contributions to international organizations, which usually have only a partial development
mandate.  Finally, the Department of Finance is also responsible for a portion of Canadian ODA
involving contributions to the World Bank, the International Development Agency (IDA) and the
Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
4
The ODA contributions managed by the Department of Finance do not fall within the purview
of this notification.  Information related to agriculture and related technical assistance5 provided to
LDCs and NFIDCs via CIDA, IDRC and DFAIT in FY2000/2001 is set out below.
                                                     
4 In addition, a small amount of Canada's ODA is channelled via other government agencies (the
Export Development Corporation, Canada Post) and provincial governments.
5 For the purposes of Section 3 of this Notification, as regards technical and financial assistance
identified under paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision, information is restricted to agricultural and related activities:agricultural production, infrastructure, harvesting, human resource development activities in the agriculturesector, and education related to agriculture.  In addition to agriculture and related technical and financial
assistance, Canada supports other sectors that contribute to food security.  While not requested by the
Agriculture Committee for this Notification, Canada has voluntarily provided this additional information.  SeeTable G on Canadian technical assistance in the agro-forestry and fishery sectors which contribute to foodsecurity in the countries in question.G/AG/N/CAN/52

THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
Bilateral (Government-to-Government) Programmes
CIDA's bilateral assistance is delivered through three geographic branches (Africa and the
Middle East, Asia, and Americas and the Caribbean) as well as a special program for Central and
Eastern Europe6.  Total bilateral programming (for the three core geographic regions) was $631.5
million in FY2000/2001.
Canadian Bilateral programming consists of government-to-government programs and
projects which are carried out in accordance with bilateral agreements and planned in co-operation
with the country via the Country Development Policy Frameworks (CDPFs).  Bilateral programmingworth $14.54 million, directed at LDCs and NFIDCs, was in agriculture and related programming,
which is approximately 2.3 per cent of total Canadian bilateral ODA. Country specific information on
agricultural and related technical support to LDCs and NFIDCs via the bilateral channel, in FY
2000/2001 is as follows:

Multilateral Core Funding
Table C below represents CIDA's total FY 2000/2001 contribution to specific multilateral
organizations with mandates that relate, completely or in part, to agriculture and/or food security.
Given the nature of multilateral organizations' funding and programming activities, no specific
portion of Canadian contributions can be identified as targeted directly to LDCs or NFIDCs.Nevertheless, Canadian support to the World F ood Programme (WFP) and the Consultative Group on
International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in particular, are likely to be relevant to this
notification.G/AG/N/CAN/52

Canadian Partnership Branch
The Canadian Partnership Branch (CPB) supports the activities of international
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Canadian organizations, academic and research
institutions and private sector firms in their development programs and projects with people andorganizations of developing countries. It is comprised of five divisions:
- the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Division provides contributions for
projects and programs that build partnerships including support for:  International
Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs);  Canadian NGO programmes; volunteersending agencies;  and the NGO project facility;
- the Institutional Cooperation Division (ICD ) focuses on overseas development-related
activities of Canadian post-secondary institutions including support for the
Educational Institutions Program (EIP) as well as a section for scholarships;Environmental NGOs; and Institutions. Also included in this division are the
Cooperative, Unions and Professional Associations Program (CUPA) which
encourages cooperation through these groups;
- the Industrial Cooperation Division (INC), facilitates development-related activities
with the Canadian private sector;
- the Youth Action Division is geared to promoting youth action for development;
- finally, the Policy, Strategy, Planning and Operations (PSPO) Division is largely a
policy group but also undertakes special programs such as: funding to facilitate NGO
participation at international conferences.
                                                     
7 CGIAR Research Centres core funding includes funds directed to: the Centre for International
Forestry Research (CIFOR), International Assistance for Strengthening National Agricultural Research
(ISNAR), International Centre for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), International Centre forLiving Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT),International Council for Research in Agro-forestry (I CRAF), International Crops Research Institute for Semi-
Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), International Institute forTropical Agriculture (IITA), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), International Maize and Wheat
Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), International Plant Gene tic Resources Institute (IPGRI), International Potato
Centre (CIP), International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), West-African Rice Development Association(WARDA) as well as the Canada-CGIAR Linkage Fund (CCLF).  Also included in this amount is fundingprovided to the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureau International (CABI).G/AG/N/CAN/52
Page 8
In FY 2000/2001, CPB disbursed a total of $276.7 million on projects and programs.  CPB
support is designed to be flexible and responsive to the diversity of civil society and complex
development needs.  Therefore, it is often cross-sectoral in nature and can involve multiple numbers
of countries and/or regions, as well as a variety of mechanisms for funding activities including via
program and project.  Consequently, it is difficult, in a large portion of the disbursements beingchannelled through Canadian voluntary organizations, to identify data on specific sectors of activities
or in particular countries (in this case agriculture related activities in LDCs and NFIDCs).  The
exception is the Industrial Co-operation Program, where country and sector specificity is possible.
The following two tables (Table D and E) provide data for CPB programming for LDCs and NFIDCs
for the INC program, and for the other Voluntary programs as a whole, where there is indication of
agricultural and related project activity.

THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE (IDRC)
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is a Canadian public corporation,
which supports scientific research focused to meet the priorities of developing countries and the basic
needs of the world's poor. In FY2000/2001 its tota l budget (including administrative costs) was
$136.84 million. In FY 2000/2001, IDRC undertook disburse ments in the agriculture sector totalling
$8.54 million, which represented about 6 per cent of their total allocation.
A review for FY2000/2001 of IDRC projects disbursing in LDCs and NFIDCs in agriculture
and related sectors, identified some 46 projects with a value of $3.03 million (about 55 per cent of all
disbursements in agriculture) as per the following Table F:G/AG/N/CAN/52

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Canada's annual core contributions to multilateral organizations such as the Food and
Agricultural Organization (FAO), the Inter-American  Institute for Co-operation on Agriculture (IICA)
and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) are channelled through the Department of
Foreign Affairs and International Trade.  In FY2000/2001, these contributions were, respectively,
$12.5, $4.9 and $1.39 million.  A portion of these contributions can be assumed to contribute to foodsecurity related activities because of the mandates of these multilateral organizations.G/AG/N/CAN/52
Page 12
(4) Other relevant information with respect to actions taken within the framework of the
Decision:
Some Canadian provincial governments also have small international assistance programs
which may provide agriculture and related technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs.
Canadian aid offices in developing countries administer small Mission Administered Funds
(MAFs) which respond to small-scale, country specific requests.  Some of these funds, where they
exist in LDCs and NFIDCs, may have agriculture and related sector impacts.
Table G is included as a Voluntary Submission to this Notification.  This table provides
information on Canadian technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs in the sectors of fisheries andagro-forestry.  This table has been included to  ensure that the Committee is provided with full
information on technical assistance provided by Canada, which contributes to the food security
situation of the countries in question.

(3) Technical and financial assistance under paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision:
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is the primary agency responsible
for the disbursement of Canadian official development assistance (ODA).  CIDA delivers programs
through bilateral (government-to-government) channels, partnership programs, as well as throughmultilateral channels.
In FY2001/2002, Canada provided a total of $2.9 billion in ODA, of which CIDA managed
$2.4 billion.  $138.7 million was channelled via the International Development Research Centre
(IDRC) which undertakes bilateral projects with a scientific or research focus.  The Department ofForeign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) is responsible for a small portion of ODA for certain
grants and contributions to international organizations, which usually have only a partial development
mandate.  Finally, the Department of Finance is also responsible for a portion of Canadian ODA
involving contributions to the World Bank, the International Development Agency (IDA) and the
Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
12
The ODA contributions managed by the Department of Finance do not fall within the purview
of this notification.  Information related to agriculture and related technical assistance13 provided to
LDCs and NFIDCs via CIDA, IDRC and DFAIT in FY2001/2002 is set out below.
                                                     
12 In addition, a small amount of Canada's ODA is channelled via other government agencies (the
Export Development Corporation, Canada Post) and provincial governments.
13 For the purposes of Section 3 of this Notification, as regards technical and financial assistance
identified under paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision, information is restricted to agricultural and related activities:agricultural production, infrastructure, harvesting, human resource development activities in the agriculturesector, and education related to agriculture.  In addition to agriculture and related technical and financial
assistance, Canada supports other sectors that contribute to food security.  While not requested by the
Agriculture Committee for this Notification, Canada has voluntarily provided this additional information.  SeeTable G on Canadian technical assistance in the agro-forestry and fishery sectors which contribute to foodsecurity in the countries in question.G/AG/N/CAN/52

THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
Bilateral (Government-to-Government) Programmes
CIDA's bilateral assistance is delivered through three geographic branches (Africa and the
Middle East, Asia, and Americas and the Caribbean) as well as a special program for Central and
Eastern Europe14. Total bilateral programming (for the three core geographic regions) was $711.03
million in FY2001/2002.
Canadian Bilateral programming consists of government-to-government programs and
projects which are carried out in accordance with bilateral agreements and planned in co-operation
with the country via the Country Development Policy Frameworks (CDPFs) $15.2 million worth ofbilateral programming directed at LDCs and NFIDCs, was in agriculture and related programming,
which is approximately 2.1 per cent of total Canadian bilateral ODA.  Country specific information on
agricultural and related technical support to LDCs and NFIDCs via the bilateral channel, in FY
2001/2002 is as follows:

Multilateral Core Funding
Table C below represents CIDA's total FY 2001/2002 contribution to specific multilateral
organizations with mandates that relate, completely or in part, to agriculture and/or food security.
Given the nature of multilateral organizations' funding and programming activities, no specific
portion of Canadian contributions can be identified as targeted directly to LDCs or NFIDCs.Nevertheless, Canadian support to the World F ood Programme (WFP) and the Consultative Group on
International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in particular, are likely to be relevant to this
notification.G/AG/N/CAN/52

Canadian Partnership Branch
The Canadian Partnership Branch (CPB) supports the activities of international non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) and Canadian organizations, academic and research institutions
and private sector firms in their development programs and projects with people and organizations of
developing countries.  It is comprised of five divisions:
- the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Division provides contributions for
projects and programs that build partnerships including support for:  International
Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs);  Canadian NGO programmes;  volunteer
sending agencies;  and the NGO project facility;
- the Institutional Cooperation Division (ICD ) focuses on overseas development-related
activities of Canadian post-secondary institutions including support for the
Educational Institutions Program (EIP) as well as a section for scholarships;
Environmental NGOs; and Institutions.  Also included in this division are theCooperative, Unions and Professional Associations Program (CUPA) which
encourages cooperation through these groups;
- the Industrial Cooperation Division (INC), facilitates development-related activities
with the Canadian private sector;
- the Youth Action Division is geared to promoting youth action for development;- finally, the Policy, Strategy, Planning and Operations (PSPO) Division is largely a
policy group but also undertakes special programs such as: funding to facilitate NGO
participation at international conferences.
                                                     
15 CGIAR Research Centres core funding includes funds directed to: the Centre for International
Forestry Research (CIFOR), International Assistance for Strengthening National Agricultural Research
(ISNAR), International Centre for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), International Centre forLiving Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT),International Council for Research in Agro-forestry (I CRAF), International Crops Research Institute for Semi-
Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), International Institute forTropical Agriculture (IITA), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), International Maize and Wheat
Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), International Plant Gene tic Resources Institute (IPGRI), International Potato
Centre (CIP), International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), West-African Rice Development Association(WARDA) as well as the Canada-CGIAR Linkage Fund (CCLF).  Also included in this amount is fundingprovided to the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureau International (CABI).G/AG/N/CAN/52
Page 22
In FY 2001/2002, CPB disbursed a total of $282 million on projects and programs.  CPB
support is designed to be flexible and responsive to the diversity of civil society and complex
development needs.  Therefore, it is often cross-sectoral in nature and can involve multiple numbers
of countries and/or regions, as well as a variety of mechanisms for funding activities including viaprogram and project.  Consequently, it is difficult, in a large portion of the disbursements being
channelled through Canadian voluntary organizations, to identify data on specific sectors of activities
or in particular countries (in this case agriculture related activities in LDCs and NFIDCs).  The
exception is the Industrial Co-operation Program, where country and sector specificity is possible.
The following two tables (Table D and E) provide data for CPB programming for LDCs and NFIDCs
for the INC program, and for the other Voluntary programs as a whole, where there is indication of
agricultural and related project activity.

For the "CPB Voluntary Program" (excluding  INC), total disbursements for FY 2001/2002
were $222.9 million on various programs, projects and activities.  Some 278 agriculture and relatedprojects, with a total value of $6.5 million, were operational in 44 LDCs/NFIDCs.  It is important to
note that the information provided in Table E for the "CPB Voluntary Programs" (excluding INC)
should be considered as a minimum indication only .  Significant relevant CPB programming may not
be reported here.  Where there is a clear indication of agriculture and related activity in the focus
countries, the disbursement has been indicated in Table E.  However, it has not always been possibleto capture information for projects/programs with only a sub-theme of agriculture, or with a
regional/global rather than country specific focus.
THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE (IDRC)
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is a Canadian public corporation,
which supports scientific research focused to meet the priorities of developing countries and the basic
needs of the world's poor. In FY2001/2002 its tota l budget (including administrative costs) was
$138.7 million. In FY 2001/2002, IDRC undertook disbursements in the agriculture sector totalling
$6.5 million, which represented about 4.6 per cent of their total allocation.
A review for FY2001/2002 of IDRC projects disbursing in LDCs and NFIDCs in agriculture
and related sectors, identified some 38 projects with a value of $2.2 million (about 34 per cent of all
disbursements in agriculture) as per the following Table F:G/AG/N/CAN/52

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Canada's annual core contributions to multilateral organizations such as the Food and
Agricultural Organization (FAO), the Inter-American  Institute for Co-operation on Agriculture (IICA)
and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) are channelled through the Department of
Foreign Affairs and International Trade.  In FY2001/2002, these contributions were, respectively,
$13.2, $4.9, and $1.39 million.  A portion of these contributions can be assumed to contribute to food
security related activities because of the mandates of these multilateral organizations.G/AG/N/CAN/52
Page 26
(4) Other relevant information with respect to actions taken within the framework of the
Decision:
Some Canadian provincial governments also have small international assistance programs
which may provide agriculture and related technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs.
Canadian aid offices in developing countries administer small Mission Administered Funds
(MAFs) which respond to small-scale, country specific requests.  Some of these funds, where they
exist in LDCs and NFIDCs, may have agriculture and related sector impacts.
Table G is included as a Voluntary Submission to this Notification.  This table provides
information on Canadian technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs in the sectors of fisheries andagro-forestry.  This table has been included to  ensure that the Committee is provided with full
information on technical assistance provided by Canada, which contributes to the food security
situation of the countries in question.
