CASID / ACÉDI

Global development is everyone’s concern and not the exclusive domain of specialists and professionals. Thus, CASID and its funding agencies see public education and service as institutional priorities. CASID currently has three main instruments to promote this mission: the Canadian Journal of Development Studies, the Annual Conference, and Regional Events. However, while these conventional vehicles are necessary, they are not sufficient for contributions to policy debate and public education. Certainly, more needs to be done to further advance CASID’s contribution to the Canadian public debate.
