The Canadian Partnerships Program seeks to ensure IDRC’s active presence in the Canadian development research community. In keeping with the Centre’s mandate of empowerment through knowledge, it supports the contribution of research and knowledge to Canada’s involvement in the global search for ways to build healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous societies.

The partnerships program responds to proposals from Canadian academic and civil society organizations. It supports the growing interest in internationalizing research in Canadian universities and the trend among civil society organizations to undertake research to inform national and international policy and their own programming priorities. 

The program also encourages collaboration among the various sectors of the Canadian development research community: academic institutions, professional associations, nongovernmental organizations, government agencies, and private sector organizations. This collaboration frequently involves the participation of Southern partners, in the expectation that it will be of mutual benefit to Canada and the South.

The Canadian Partnerships Program is part of IDRC’s Special Initiatives Division (SID).
