Canadian College Partnership Program (CCPP) - 2001-2011

The goal of the Canadian College Partnership Program is to increase the capacity of educational and training organizations in developing countries to address their respective country's sustainable development priorities. The program provides funding on a cost-shared basis for projects developed by Canadian community colleges, vocational colleges, and similar institutions. The projects funded aim to build the capacities of educational and training institutions in developing countries to address the development needs of the communities they serve. The program supports two categories of projects: (1) major development and institutional strengthening projects that often involve policy development, planning, and the management of technical and vocational training systems and (2) smaller, more narrowly defined partnership projects that focus on institutional capacity building and poverty reduction in specific communities.
