__________________________________________________________________________________
(1) Quantity of food aid provided to least-developed and net food-importing developing
countries:
For the period of 1 August 1997 to 31 July 1998, Canada provided a total of 269,905 tonnes
of food aid to Least-Developed Countries (LDC s) and Net Food-Importing Developing Countries
(NFIDCs).  This volume of food aid had a total value of $106.851 million in 1997/98.  See Table A,
"Canadian Food Aid to LDCs and NFIDCs, 1 August 1997 – 31 July 1998", which provides
information for the period in question of the quantit y of Canadian food aid provided to LDCs and
NFIDCs with a breakdown by region and individual country and by commodity, quantity in metrictonnes, total value, and value of the portion which is channelled through the World Food Programme
(WFP).
2  In addition to the food aid directed to these specific LDCs and NFIDCs, $0.99 million worth
of Canadian food aid was distributed through the WFP to 'Central America Regional', a portion of this
food aid may have impacted on LDCs and NFIDCs in the region.
In addition, in  FY1997/983, Canada provided a total of $112.05 million in food aid to other
developing countries (non-LDCs and NFIDCs).
In accordance with the Food Aid Convention (FAC 1995), for the crop year 1 July 1997 to
30 June 1998, Canada fully met its undertaking to provide a minimum of 400,000 tonnes of food aid
in wheat equivalent.

(3) Technical and financial assistance under paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision:
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is the primary agency responsible
for the disbursement of Canadian official development assistance (ODA).  CIDA delivers programs
through bilateral (government-to-government) channels, partnership programs, as well as throughmultilateral channels.  In FY1997/98, Canada provided a total of $ N/A
4 billion in ODA.5
In addition, in FY 1997/98, $88.76 million in Canadian ODA was channelled via the
International Development Research Centre (IDRC) which undertakes bilateral projects with a
scientific or research focus.  The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) is
responsible for a small portion of ODA for certain grants and contributions to international
organizations, which usually have only a partial development mandate.  Finally, the Department ofFinance is also responsible for a portion of Canadian ODA involving contributions to the World
Bank, the International Development Agency (IDA) and the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility
of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
6
The ODA contributions managed by the Department of Finance do not fall within the purview
of this notification.  Information related to agriculture and related technical assistance7 provided to
LDCs and NFIDCs via CIDA, IDRC and DFAIT in FY1997/98 is set out below.
THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
Bilateral (Government-to-Government) Programmes
CIDA's bilateral assistance is delivered through four geographic branches (Africa & the
Middle East, Asia, Americas and the Caribbean, and Central and Eastern Europe and the FormerSoviet Union).  Programming consists of government-to-government programs and projects.  Total
bilateral programming was $740.50 million in FY1997/98.  Canadian Bilateral programming is
carried out in accordance with bilateral agreements and planned in co-operation with the country via
the Country Development Policy Frameworks (CD PFs).  In FY 1997/98, bilateral programming was
undertaken in 16 of the LDCs and NFIDCs for a total value of $ 214.33 million.  This represents
about 29 per cent of the total amount of Canadian bilateral programs.  $16.9 million of bilateral
programming directed at LDCs and NFIDCs was in agriculture and related programming, which isapproximately 2 per cent of total Canadian bilateral ODA, and 8 per cent of the bilateral programming
going to these countries. Country specific information on agricultural and related technical support to
LDCs and NFIDCs via the bilateral ch annel, in FY 1997/98 is as follows:
                                                     
4 Due to a delay in the compilation of disbursements data for annual NF:1 reporting for the FY1997/98 period,
information on total CIDA ODA will not be available until 1999.
5 In addition to ODA, Canada provides aid to More Advance Developing Countries and some other Countries in
Transition identified as DAC Part II countries.
6 A small amount of Canada's ODA is channelled via other government agencies (the Export Development
Corporation, Canada Post) and provincial governments.
7 For the purposes of Section 3 of this Notification, as regards technical and financial assistance identified under
paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision, information is restricted to agricultural and related activities:  agricultural production,
infrastructure, harvesting, human resource development activ ities in the agriculture sector, and education related to
agriculture.  In addition to agriculture and related technical and financial assistance, Canada supports  other sectors whichcontribute to food security. While not requested by the Agriculture Committee for this Notification,  Canada has voluntarily
provided this additional information.  See Table G on Canadian technical assistance in the agro-forestry and fishery sectors
which contribute to food security in the countries in question.G/AG/N/CAN/25

Multilateral Core Funding
Table C below represents CIDA's total FY 1997/98 contribution to specific multilateral
organizations with mandates that relate, completely or in part, to agriculture and/or food security.
Given the nature of multilateral organizations' funding and programming activities, no specific portion
of Canadian contributions can be identified as ta rgeted directly to LDCs or NFIDCs.  Nevertheless,
Canadian support to the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Consultative Group on International
Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in particular, are likely to be relevant to this notification.G/AG/N/CAN/25

Canadian Partnership Branch
The Canadian Partnership Branch (CPB) supports the activities of international non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) and Canadian organizations, academic & research institutionsand private sector firms in their development programs and projects with people and organizations of
developing countries. It is comprised of five divisions:
- the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Division provides contributions for projects and
programs that build partnerships including support for:  International Non-GovernmentalOrganizations (INGOs); Canadian NGO programmes; volunteer sending agencies; and the
NGO project facility;
- the International Cooperation Division (ICD) focuses on overseas development-related
activities of Canadian post-secondary institutions including support for the Educational
Institutions Program (EIP) as well as a sect ion for scholarships; Environmenta l NGOs ; and
Institutions. Also included in this division are the Cooperative, Unions and ProfessionalAssociations Program (CUPA) which encourages cooperation through these groups;
- the Industrial Cooperation Division (INC), facilitates development-related activities with the
Canadian private sector;
                                                     
8 CIDA's IHA program provides the following breakdown for their total disbursements: 12 per cent emergency
health and nutrition, 10 per cent basic education, 6 per cent water and sanitation, 7 per cent shelter, 59 per cent integrated
basic  human needs and 6 per cent peace building. Activities in support of agriculture and related programming would likelyfall within the 59 per cent of IHA directed at integrated basic human needs.
9 41 per cent is Food Aid channelled to LDCs and NFIDCs via the WFP as reported in Section 1, Table A.
10 CGIAR Research Centres core funding includes funds directed to: the Centre for International Forestry
Research (CIFOR), International Assistance for Strengthenin g National Agricultural Research (ISNAR), International Centre
for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), Intern ational Centre for Living Aquatic Resources Management
(ICLARM), International Centre for Tropi cal Agriculture (CIAT), International Co uncil for Research in Agro-forestry
(ICRAF), International Crops Research Institute for Semi-A rid Tropics (ICRISAT), International Food Policy Research

- the Youth Action Division is geared to promoting youth action for development;
- finally, the Policy, Strategy, Planning and Operations (PSPO) Division is largely a policy
group but also undertakes special programs such as: funding to facilitate NGO participation atinternational conferences.
In FY 1997/98, CPB disbursed a total of $262 million on nearly 3,082 projects and programs.
CPB support is designed to be flexible and responsive to the diversity of civil society and complex
development needs.  Therefore, it is often cross-sectoral in nature and can involve multiple numbers
of countries and/or regions, as well as a variety of mechanisms for funding activities including via
program and project.  Consequently, it is difficult, in a large portion of the disbursements beingchannelled through Canadian voluntary organizations, to identify data on specific sectors of activities
or in particular countries (in this case agriculture related activities in LDCs and NFIDCs). The
exception is the Industrial Co-operation Program, where country and sector specificity is possible.
The following two tables (Table D and E) provide data for CPB programming for LDCs and NFIDCs
for the INC program, and for the other Voluntary programs as a whole, where there is indication ofagricultural and related project activity.

The INC program's total disbursements for FY 1997/98 was $49 million on 531 projects,
$3.3 million of which was disbursed on 49 agriculture and related projects in 28 countries.
$764.14 thousand was disbursed on 13  agriculture and related projects operating in 11 LDCs and/or
NFIDCs.  Agriculture programming directed at LDCs and NFIDCs, therefore, represents about 23 percent of the total agricultural activity of the INC program and 2 per cent of the total overall INC
program.

For the "CPB Voluntary Program" (excluding INC), total disbursements for FY 1997/98 were
$212.9 million on more than 2551 projects and programs.  At least 145 agriculture and relatedprojects, with a total value of $4,648.89 thousand, were operational in 35 LDCs/NFIDCs.  It is
important to note that the information provided  in Table E for the "CPB Voluntary Programs"
(excluding INC) should be considered as a mini mum indication only.  Significant relevant CPB
programming may not be reported here.  Where there is a clear indication of agriculture and related
activity in the focus countries, the proportion has been indicated in Table E.  However, it has notalways been possible to capture information for projects/programs with only a sub-theme of
agriculture, or with a regional/global rather than country specific focus.  For example, CPB supported
7 additional global/regional agriculture and related projects, valued at $14.89 million, and it is likely
that some of this will benefit LDCs and/or NFIDCs in those regions.
THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE (IDRC)
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is a Canadian public corporation,
which supports scientific research that meets the priorities of developing countries and the basic needs
of the world's poor.  In FY1997/98 its total budg et (including administrative costs) was
$88.76 million.  One of its core programming themes is "Food Systems Under Stress".  In FY1997/98,
IDRC undertook disbursements in the agriculture sector totalling $8.05 million, which representedabout 9 per cent of their total allocation.
A review for FY1997/98 of IDRC projects disbur sing in LDCs and NFIDCs in agriculture
and related sectors, identified some 68 projects with a value of $3.16 million (about 40 per cent of all
disbursements in agriculture) as per the following Table F:G/AG/N/CAN/25

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Canada's annual core contributions to multilateral organizations such as the Food and
Agricultural Organization (FAO), the Inter-American Institute for Co-operation on Agriculture (IICA)
and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) are channelled through the Department ofForeign Affairs and International Trade.  In FY1997/98, these contributions were, respectively, $15.0,
$5.25 and $1.8 million.  A portion of these contributions can be assumed to contribute to food security
related activities because of the mandates of these multilateral organizations.
(4) Other relevant information with respect to actions taken within the framework of the
Decision:
Some Canadian provincial governments also have small international assistance programs
which may provide agriculture and related technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs.
Canadian aid offices in developing countries administer small Mission Administered Funds
(MAFs) which respond to small-scale, country specific requests.  Some of these funds, where theyexist in LDCs and NFIDCs, may have agriculture and related sector impacts.
Table G is included as a Voluntary Submission to this Notification.  This table provides
information on Canadian technical assistance to LDCs and NFIDCs in the sectors of fisheries and
agro-forestry.  This table has been included to  ensure that the Committee is provided with full
information on technical assistance provided by Canada, which contributes to the food security
situation of the countries in question.G/AG/N/CAN/25
