The Canadian Aid Conversation

Series Contributors:

In June, UN Foundation Senior Fellow John McArthur started a new conversation about Canada’s foreign aid policy with a three-part series here on OpenCanada.org. McArthur argued that the country needed a new “demand-driven approach” that first considered the challenges of global development and then asked how Canada can best tackle those challenges.

Here, we continue the conversation that McArthur started with comments from a number of foreign aid experts. We’ll be adding new content to this page regularly.
