FOUNDING DONOR
The International Development
Research Centre (IDRC) is a public
corporation created by the Parliament of
Canada in 1970 to help developing
countries use science and technology to
find practical, long-term solutions to
the social, economic, and environmental
problems they face. Support is directed
toward developing an indigenous research
capacity to sustain policies and
technologies that developing countries
need to build healthier, more equitable,
and more prosperous societies.
IDRC’s Mission: Empowerment Through Knowledge
In carrying out its mission, IDRC
provides funds and expert advice to
developing-country researchers working
to solve critical development problems.
-
Funds applied research by
researchers from developing
countries on the problems they
identify as crucial to their
communities. Most projects supported
result from direct exchanges between
the Centre and developing-country
institutions;
-
Provides expert advice to those
researchers;
-
Builds local capacity in developing
countries to undertake research and
innovation.
Research Themes
The Centre supports research under the
broad themes of Environment and Natural
Resource Management, Information and
Communication Technologies for
Development, Innovation, Policy and
Science, Social and Economic Policy.
Complementary Activities
IDRC funds and administers a training
and awards program for young Canadians
and nationals from developing countries.
By supporting academic study and
offering opportunities for hands-on
experience, IDRC helps countries of the
South to provide themselves with a
critical mass of trained and experienced
researchers and gives a new generation
of Canadians an opportunity to
participate actively in international
development issues.
