ARCHIVED - Canadian International Development Agency - Supplementary Tables

Name of Transfer Payment Program: International Development Assistance

Start Date: April 1, 2012

End Date: N/A

Fiscal Year for Ts & Cs: 2011-2012

Strategic Outcome: Reduction in poverty for those living in countries where the Canadian International Development Agency engages in international development.

Program Activities:

• Fragile states and crisis-affected communities
• Low-income countries
• Middle-income countries
• Global engagement and strategic policy
• Canadian engagement for development

Description:

The objective of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) transfer payment program is to reduce poverty for those living in countries where CIDA engages in international development.

This objective is in line with the intent of the Official Development Assistance Accountability Act, which states that expenditures reported to Parliament as Official Development Assistance (ODA) must contribute to poverty reduction, take into account the perspectives of the poor, and be consistent with international human rights standards. Furthermore, ODA may be provided for the purposes of alleviating the effects of a natural or man-made disaster or other emergency occurring outside Canada. CIDA is the lead department responsible for Canada’s Official Development Assistance. The majority of the Agency’s activities are consistent with the Act. However, CIDA’s transfer payment program does not preclude activities falling outside the scope of the Act given stated limitations.

The Programming Classes described in the financial table below constitute the means for attainment of CIDA’s results. More precisely, in order to meet its program objectives, the Agency has developed three specialized classes of grants and contributions: bilateral, multilateral and partnerships with Canadians programming.

Initiatives to Engage Applicants and Recipients:

• CIDA engages with multilateral and global partners through Canada’s representation on governing bodies (including steering committees for particular initiatives), through headquarters-to-headquarters contact, through ongoing discussion between partners’ headquarters and CIDA’s field representatives in Rome, Geneva, New York, and Washington DC, and through the contacts between partners’ country offices and CIDA’s field staff in developing countries.
• The Agency responds to the needs and priorities of recipients (countries/institutions) through ongoing bilateral and multi-donor/recipient dialogue. This dialogue starts before investments decisions are taken and continues through the planning, programming and evaluation cycles. Recipients consider this dialogue a necessary element of macro country/institution planning and priority setting. These ongoing relationships inform CIDA programming frameworks and investment portfolio, and are considered as prerequisites for sustainable development results.
• Communications Branch is supporting Agency activities to engage stakeholders and facilitate more effective stakeholder engagement through increased transparency and up-to-date information. Online consultations and calls for proposals are published on CIDA’s website as they are launched—several are planned by the Agency in 2012-2013. Funding decisions and project information will continue to be published in a timely way through CIDA’s Project Browser on the Web site and new application for mobile devices. The scope of project and program information that are posted online will be increased as the Agency implements the International Aid Transparency Initiative over the 2012-2015 period.
• CIDA maintains ongoing communications with bodies that are representative of applicants and recipients; it makes use of surveys of applicants and recipients conducted by representative bodies; and it pursues senior level outreach in the form of attendance to applicants and recipients events and meetings.
• A general mailbox is maintained to provide a single access point for questions, comments and complaints of applicants and recipients which feeds, where applicable, a transparent, online Q&A page and directs the attention and action of the Partnerships with Canadians Branch to correct any issue.
• An ongoing lessons learned exercise ensures that the experiences of applicants and recipients are integrated into further attempts to improve processes and mechanisms.
• CIDA has engaged in debriefing sessions with applicants.
• The Agency is also developing a public engagement strategy that promotes active participation and increased engagement of the Canadian public, including current and future recipients of grants and contributions.

Strategic Outcome: Reduction in poverty for those living in countries in which CIDA engages in international development.

Description:

One of CIDA’s main funding instruments for the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) is the issuance and encashment of promissory notes, which are funds that are given to the organization without any capital stock or subscriptions given in return. This funding enables the IFIs to finance their concessional funding windows for assistance to developing countries. Advances are made through the issuance of non-interest bearing, non-negotiable notes payable to the institutions, which become a statutory cash requirement upon encashment by the institution.

Increased effectiveness of Canadian development cooperation through engagement with, and investment in, multilateral and global organizations, to address humanitarian and development challenges.

Progress in global food security, health, education, and employment rates in developing countries.
