Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)
(CIDA) is the federal agency responsible for administering most of Canada's official development assistance programme. CIDA has six programming priorities: Basic Human Needs; Women in Development and Gender Equity; Infrastructure Services; Human Rights, Democracy, Good Governance; Private Sector Development; and Environment. Although CIDA does not have a programme focused at ICTs, the use of ICTs and their role in development are pursued across its programmes and projects. The bulk of CIDA's ICT investments occur in this way. Most of the interventions consist of providing assistance to developing countries in helping them create an enabling environment that will optimise the proper functioning of the ICT Sector in their countries. This is usually comprised of a long term programme of institutional strengthening focused on policy and regulatory matters, participation of the private sector etc. [794]
