The Local Partner Organisations Involved

A Cooperation Based on Partnerships

CECI and it's Uniterra programme brings partners organizations and networks from Canada and developing countries together to implement cooperation projects that advance social and economic development. We enable exchanges of expertise, knowledge and know-how between partner organizations from the North and the South. These exchanges are multi-directional: North-South, South-North and South-South.

Partners from the South

Uniterra facilitates collaboration between organizations from the Global South and Canadian organizations working on common issues. We also support organizations in initiatives promoting collaboration between countries of the South.

Canadian partners

We mobilize Canadian organizations active on issues linked to our programming sectors. These organizations establish ties with our partners from the South and collaborate with them in a variety of ways: via Canadian volunteers to the South, by welcoming volunteers from the South who come to Canada, and by exchanging information and knowledge.
