On March 17, 2011, the Government of Canada launched an Open Data portal for all Canadians. As part of that effort, statistical data and other information on Canada's international assistance and CIDA's activities are now available in data sets and machine-readable formats for all Canadians: researchers, students, media or anyone interested in international assistance. Links to related reports and other data sources are also provided.
For more information on international development, CIDA programs or how to get involved in international development, please visit CIDA's home page. Open data from CIDA and several other Canadian federal government departments is available at data.gc.ca.
