About International Development Week
International Development Week (IDW) is an annual initiative that takes place during the first full week of February. Since 1991, IDW has brought together civil society organizations, schools, businesses, government agencies, and the general public to highlight Canadian contributions to international development initiatives from coast to coast to coast and overseas.
This year’s International Development Week (#IDW2024) will take place from February 4 to 10 and will be celebrated by ACIC, Global Affairs Canada, Canadian development organizations and Canadians with events and activities across Atlantic Canada and the country .
