Services Provided by International Development Research Centre-Centre De Recherches Pour Le Developpement International
Created by Parliament in 1970, IDRC has been committed in supporting research in developing countries undertaken by the people of those countries, for their own development. IDRC has three program areas: Agriculture and Environment (AE), Technology and Innovation (TI) and Inclusive Economies(IE). The majority of IDRC's grants support developing country researchers, often based in non-governmental organizations, universities, community groups and governments in poor countries. A small amount of IDRC grants support Canadians and others to assist the efforts of developing country researchers. All grants support research that is applied to actions intended to benefit the poor, through activities that seek to develop new technologies, inform policy processes, or to enhance the research capacity in developing countries.
