Notes:   Monetary figures include commodity, transportation and operational costs.  Totals may not balance due 
to rounding.  Micro-nutrient capsules and tablets were  not included under Amount (metric tonnes) because the 
amount in metric tonnes is not available. 
 
(2) Indication of the proportion in fully gr ant form or appropriate concessional terms: 
2. All Canadian food aid is provided in fully grant form. 
(3) Technical and financial assistance under paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision: 
3. The Canadian International Development Agency  (CIDA) is the primary agency responsible

channels. 
4. In fiscal year (FY) 2008/20093, Canada provided a total of $5.4 billion in ODA, of which 
CIDA managed $3.6 billion.  Of the $3.6 billion in ai d delivered by CIDA bilateral aid accounted for

Multilateral Funding 
7. Table C below represents CIDA's total FY 2008/2009 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 identifie d 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 pa rticular, are likely to be relevant to this 
notification.

THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE (IDRC) 
8. The International Development Research Centre  (IDRC) is a Canadian public corporation, 
which supports scientific research focused to meet th e priorities of developing countries and the basic 
needs of the world's poor.  In FY 2008/2009 its total budget (including administrative costs) was 
$190.5 million.  In FY 2008/2009,  IDRC undertook disbursements in the agriculture sector (including 
agriculture, fishery and forestry) totalling $5.4 milli on, which represented about 2.8 per cent of their 
total allocation.  G/AG/N/CAN/93

  9. A review for FY 2008/2009 of IDRC identified so me 33 projects in agriculture and related 
sectors, in LDCs and NFIDCs with a value of $2.25 million.  See Table D.

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE 
10. Canada's annual core assessed contributions to  the Food and Agriculture Organization of the 
United Nations (FAO) and the Inter-American Institu te for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) are 
channelled through the Department of  Foreign Affairs and International Trade.  In FY 2008/2009, 
these contributions were, respectively, CAN$17.4 million and US$3.79 million.  Given that food 
security is part of the mandate of these multilateral organizations, it can be assumed that a portion of 
these contributions are directed to food security related activities. 
(4) Other relevant information with respect to actions taken within the framework of the 
Decision: 
11. Some Canadian provincial governments also ha ve small international assistance programmes 
which may provide agriculture and related technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs. 
12. Canadian aid (CIDA) offices in developing c ountries administer a Canada Fund for Local 
Initiatives (CFLI) which responds to small-scale, country specific re quests.  Some of these funds, 
where they exist in LDCs and NFIDCs, may ha ve agriculture and related sector impacts. 
13. Table E is included as a voluntary submission to  this notification.  This table provides 
information on Canadian technical assistance to LD Cs and NFIDCs in the sectors of fisheries and 
agro-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 recipient LDCs and NFIDCs.

Multilateral Funding 
7. Table C below represents CIDA's total FY 2009/2010 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 identifie d 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 pa rticular, are likely to be relevant to this 
notification.

THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE (IDRC) 
8. The International Development Research Centre  (IDRC) is a Canadian public corporation, 
which supports scientific research focused to meet th e priorities of developing countries and the basic 
needs of the world's poor.  In FY 2009/2010 its total budget (including administrative costs) was 
$190.5 million.  In FY 2009/2010,  IDRC undertook disbursements in the agriculture sector (including 
agriculture, fishery and forestry) totalling $5.4 milli on, which represented about 2.8 per cent of their 
total allocation. 
9. A review for FY 2009/2010 of IDRC identified so me 37 projects in agriculture and related 
sectors, in LDCs and NFIDCs with a value of $3.24 million.  See Table D. G/AG/N/CAN/93

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE 
10. Canada's annual core assessed contributions to  the Food and Agriculture Organization of the 
United Nations (FAO) and the Inter-American Institu te for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) are 
channelled through the Department of  Foreign Affairs and International Trade.  In FY 2009/2010, 
these contributions were, respectively, CAN$15.8 million and US$3.79 million.  Given that food 
security is part of the mandate of these multilateral organizations, it can be assumed that a portion of 
these contributions are directed to food security related activities. 
(4) Other relevant information with respect to actions taken within the framework of the 
Decision: 
11. Some Canadian provincial governments also ha ve small international assistance programmes 
which may provide agriculture and related technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs. 
12. Canadian aid (CIDA) offices in developing c ountries administer a Canada Fund for Local 
Initiatives (CFLI) which responds to small-scale, country specific re quests.  Some of these funds, 
where they exist in LDCs and NFIDCs, may ha ve agriculture and related sector impacts. 
13. Table E is included as a voluntary submission to  this notification.  This table provides 
information on Canadian technical assistance to LD Cs and NFIDCs in the sectors of fisheries and 
agro-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 recipient LDCs and NFIDCs.
