It has a mandate to support sustainable development in developing countries in order to reduce poverty and to contribute to a more secure, equitable, and prosperous world. CIDA’s priorities are democratic governance, private sector development, health, basic education, equality between women and men, and environmental sustainability. These are areas in which Canadian expertise can make a difference. CIDA works with a wide range of partners in Canada and overseas, including nonon-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, universities and colleges, cooperatives, international organizations, and local and national governments. The expertise and knowledge of the Agency’s partners are essential to providing effective, high-quality assistance. CIDA priorites in Ghana are food security/ agriculture water and governance with much of its focus in the Northern Regions. Currently, CIDA has 26 bilateral programs in operations.
