Development Effectiveness
The development co–operation landscape is facing profound headwinds, from growing inequality to escalating conflicts compounded by climatic shocks. Development actors increasingly recognize the failure of traditional assistance models and the need to recommit to the foundational principles of effective development cooperation, namely country ownership, focus on results, inclusive development partnerships, and transparency and accountability.
Cooperation Canada engages its membership and political actors on those principles, seeking to improve the quality and quantity of Canada’s international assistance.
