| Vision and Program Objectives |
Vision The SID-CP vision is one in which Canadian researchers and civil society actors see themselves as global citizens producing, sharing and using knowledge with an international perspective, often in direct partnership with Southern colleagues, in ways that favour common approaches and emphasize mutual benefit. As global citizens participating in international knowledge networks, these Canadians make a major contribution to innovation and to finding solutions to pressing global and international developmental problems. Program objectives The goal of this program is to foster innovative approaches to development, by assisting in the creation, management and sharing of knowledge that responds to the realization that health, equity, safety and prosperity in Canada as well as in the Global South, are increasingly linked to ideas and innovations generated in an international context of cooperation and development. The objectives are therefore: - to build and maintain the Centre’s long-term relationships with those key Canadian institutions that are most closely related to the Centre’s overall mandate and mission through program support and collaboration;
- to strengthen the capacity and engagement of Canadian universities, research institutions and civil society organizations to address international development questions through research, knowledge sharing and networking;
- to facilitate and strengthen mutually beneficial Canada-Global South connections through collaborative research, knowledge sharing and networking;
- to increase the number of Canadians learning about and engaging with international development issues through their participation in knowledge production and sharing activities; and
- to explore and document innovative partnership mechanisms.
