The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) recently announced support for a new Education for Employment (EFE) initiative of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges in the Andean region, as well as additional funding to extend the existing program in Africa. CIDA is contributing $19.6 million over 5 years to the Andean region initiative, and investing another $2.8 million in the African program.
