Posted by Faculty of Management on July 11, 2012 in Research

The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) will support the efforts of Dalhousie and St Francis Xavier’s Coady Institute in reducing international poverty. Through two separate food-security projects, they will deliver concrete results for people living in Cuba, Ethiopia, Ghana and Zambia. The total CIDA contribution to Dalhousie and the Coady Institute is $9,911,933 over five years. Each university will contribute at least 25 percent of the cost of projects.
