(3) Technical andfinancial assistance under paragraph 3(iii)oftheDecision:
In1996/97, Canada provided atotalof$2.68 billion inofficial development assistance (ODA)2.The
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) manages asubstantial portion (60%) ofCanadian
ODA. Itdelivers programs through bilateral (government-to-government) channels (28% ofODA),
partnership programs (10% ofODA), aswellasthrough multilateral channels (22% ofODA).
Canadian assistance isalsochannelled viatheInternational Development Research Centre (IDRC) (4%
ofODA) which undertakes bilateral projects withascientific orresearch focus andasmall amount
totheInternational Centre forHuman Rights andGood Governance (ICHRGG). Inaddition totheir
owninternational assistance envelope allocation, theDepartment ofForeign Affairs andInternational
Trade (DFAIT) isresponsible forabout 5%ofODA forcertain grants andcontributions tointernational
organizations, usually those which haveonlyapartial development mandate. Finally, theDepartment
ofFinance isresponsible forabout 21%ofCanadian ODA involving contributions totheWorld Bank,
theInternational Development Agency (IDA) andtheEnhanced Structural Adjustment Facility ofthe
International Monetary Fund (IMF).3
TheODA contributions managed bytheDepartment ofFinance andthework oftheICHRGG donot

Frameworks (CDPFs).
InFY1996/97, LDC/NFIDCs received $348.9 million (45%), ofthetotalamount ofCanadian bilateral

CANADIAN PARTNERSHIP BRANCH
TheCanadian Partnership Branch (CPB) supports theactivities ofinternational non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) andCanadian organizations, institutions andprivate sector firms intheir
development programmes andprojects withpeople andorganizations ofdeveloping countries. Itis
comprised offivedivisions:
- InternationalNon-GovernmentalOrganization(INGO)Program,whichsupportsglobalnetworks
ofnational andlocalNGOs involved indevelopment issues ofimportance toCanada;
- theNon-Governmental Organization (NGO) Division, which provides aportion ofsupport
forprojects andprograms thatbuild partnerships between Canadian NGOs andNGOs of
developing countries;
- theEducational Institutions Program, which focuses ontheoverseas development-related
activities ofCanadian post-secondary institutions, providing support through twochannels -
theuniversities program andthecolleges program;
- theCooperative, Unions andProfessional Associations Program, which encourages cooperation
through these kinds ofgroups; and,
- theIndustrial Cooperation Program (INC), which undertakes development-related activities
withtheCanadian private sector.
InFY1996/97, CPB disbursed atotal of$280.9 million onnearly 1600 projects and
programmes. CPBsupport isdesigned tobeflexible andresponsive tothediversity ofcivilsociety
andcomplex development needs. Therefore, itisoftencross-sectoral innature andcaninvolve multiple
numbers ofcountries and/or regions, aswellasavariety ofmechanisms forfunding activities including
viaprogramme andproject. Itistherefore difficult, inalarge portion ofthedisbursements being
channelled through Canadian voluntary organizations, toidentify dataonspecific sectors ofactivities
orinparticular countries (inthiscaseagriculture related activities inLDC/NFIDCs). Theexception
istheIndustrial Cooperation Program, where country andsector specificity ispossible. Thefollowing

Fortherestofthe"CPB Voluntary program"(excluding INC), total disbursements for
FY1996/97 were$224.8 million onmore than927projects andprograms. Atleast184agriculture
andrelated projects, withatotalvalue of$4.91 million, wereoperational in37LDC/NFIDC countries.
Itisimportant tonotethattheinformation provided inTable Eforthe"Other CPB Voluntary

beenpossible tocapture information forprojects/programmes withonlyasub-theme ofagriculture,
orwitharegional rather thancountry specific focus. Forexample, CPB supported 54additional
global/regional agriculture andrelated projects, valued at$29.54 million, itislikely thatsome ofthis

TheInternational Development Research Centre (IDRC)
TheInternational Development Research Centre (IDRC) isaCanadian public corporation which
supports scientific research thatmeets thepriorities ofdeveloping countries andthebasic needs of
theworld 'spoor. InFY1996/97 itstotalbudget (including administrative costs) was$100.2 million.
Oneofitscoreprogramming themes is"Food Systems Under Stress". InFY1996/97, IDRC undertook
country-to-country disbursements inagriculture totalling $12.15 million, which represented 18%of

Decision:
Some Canadian provincial governments alsohavesmall international assistance programs which
mayprovide agriculture andrelated technical assistance toLDC/NFIDCs.
Canadian aidoffices indeveloping countries administer small Mission Administered Funds
(MAFs) which respond tosmall-scale, country specific requests. Some ofthese funds, where they
existinLDC/NFIDCs, mayhaveagriculture andrelated sector impacts.
