International Agricultural Development Program

Since 1989, the AIC has provided voluntary opportunities for its Canadian Members to work cooperatively and share expertise with partner profession organizations in developing countries through the International Agricultural Development Program (IADP). The IADP provides a valuable opportunity for AIC Members to share their expertise, learn about development issues and make a significant contribution to improving food security and alleviating poverty in selected countries. The International Twinning Partnership Program (ITPP), funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), provides the majority of these opportunities. The participation of AIC members in the IADP as committee members, advisers or project coordinators is entirely on a voluntary basis. The mission of the IADP encompasses four key goals:

  • Support and strengthen partner institutions so they can be more effective in increasing food production, alleviating poverty and improving the environment, and assist their efforts in these areas.

  • Optimize the involvement of AIC members

  • Provide opportunities for professional and personal development

  • Increase global visibility of AIC, its members, and projects within the international agricultural development community.
