Humanitarian Response
Canada is the tenth largest donor of official development assistance (ODA) over the last ten years and the 12th largest donor of humanitarian aid. Its humanitarian aid is managed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), a sub-agency of the Department for Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
CIDA has three priority themes that guide its development work: increasing food security; securing the future of children and youth and stimulating sustainable economic growth and it is also leading on the Muskoka Initiative, to improve maternal, new-born and child health.
Canada was last peer reviewed by the OECD DAC in 2007 and is an active member of the Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) group.
