CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CIDA)
1991 PROFESSIONAL AWARDS
The Program

The CIDA Professional Awards are directed to mid-career Canadians who wish to
gain overseas experience. Awardees promote Canada’s role in development by

initiating work-study projects or short-term work assignments in developing _

countries.
The Projects

All applicants develop and design their own projects; many are undertaken with the
support of the applicant’s employer. All projects must fulfill some practical, focussed
need within the host country and demonstrate solid host country support.

Projects are implemented over a two to six month period and receive funding of up
to $25,000.00. Preferred fields of specialization include a broad range of activities
which fall under three main classifications: Natural Resources/ Infrastructure; Social
Development/Population; or Administration/Industrial Services.

The Applicants

The CIDA Professional Awards Program encourages applications from those
professionals who have little overseas experience and are interested in
“internationalizing" their career. Likewise, applicants who already have overseas
experience are encouraged to develop projects which would bring them to areas not
yet visited, maximizing the potential for personal growth and new experiences.

Additional Information

The Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) is the managing agency for
the CIDA Professional Awards. For additional information, please contact Kate
Whidden, Manager, CIDA Professional Awards. Address, phone and fax information
