The mandate of the Agency, the lead organization responsible for Canadian international development co-operation, is sustainable development. This document presents the Agency's sustainable development strategy, which will be integrated into its business cycle and will become the strategic & unifying business plan for the Agency. The document begins with an overview of the Agency's mandate & policy framework and the diverse, complex, & connected challenges involved in international development co-operation. Objectives, strategies, key actions, and desired results are then set out under the three long-term goals of the sustainable development strategy: support sustainable development in developing countries, support democratic development & economic liberalization, and apply a management-system approach based on continual improvement. Appendices include a table showing desired key results & performance indicators, a summary of a stakeholder forum held to solicit views on the strategy, and a profile of the Agency.
