Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)

CIDA supported APC’s work from the early days through a diversity of partnership projects with Web Networks, an APC member in Canada – including cost-recovery systems for email management for emerging African networks; support of APC WNSP’s preparatory work for the 1995 UN World Conference on Women; and facilitation of NGO participation in the 1997 Global Knowledge Conference in Toronto, Canada. In 2000 and 2001, CIDA supported the development of community radio exchange tools using APC’s ActionApps and Beijing+5 Section J activities to advocate for support of women’s use of ICTs.
