Abstract This paper discusses the role that the Canadian International Development Agency plays in the development of under-developed countries. CIDA's involvement includes measures to reduce poverty, decrease infant mortality rates, and increase political and economic development. CIDA signed an agreement with other donor nations that emphasizes international involvement in the pursuit of global equality, access to health and education, and improving basic living standards.
From the Paper " Although the triumph of democracy post cold war helped trigger the global economic boom, developing democracies have benefited least from trade and investment. It is crucial for the international donor community to address potential problems of new policies for promoting democratization of developing countries, otherwise risk losing financial and strategic investments between donors and under-developed countries. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) values social justice, peace and humanitarianism."

From the Paper "The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) considers development within a global community as their vision. This international agency realizes that now, as never before, countries are inescapably linked to one another. How one country treats their environment affects the environmental concerns of another. Changing economic structures affect the economies of other countries, as is currently visible in regards to the economic relationship between China and the United States. Therefore, the development which the CIDA is aiming towards regards equity involving strengthening of economic, environmental, social and governmental policies that are built upon common goals, resources and values internationally and in their homeland, Canada."

From the Paper "Stakeholders include government officials, educators, investors, potential students, community leaders, and so on. The primary tension will emerge from religious leaders from both the Sunni and the Shi'ite communities. Neither can be ignored but the two sides are currently unlikely to work together to the degree necessary. A primary focus has to be on getting a consensus from these two sides in particular while taking care to stave off extremists who want only failure for their own ends. Assessment in this case focuses on whether the program advances at all at this stage and on the students taught and the various technologies covered in the future."
Abstract This proposed project is an effort to help landless farmers in rural Sri Lanka, a country beset by civil war since 1983. Early Grameen ventures in Bangladesh enabled peasants to buy implements. Landless peasants were helped to buy milch cows to better feed their children and create milk-selling opportunities. Grameen styled projects can now involve computer or telephone networks, or other small businesses created by former peasants.
