International Development Week
International Development Week (IDW) brings together Canadians, from coast to coast to coast, to share and celebrate our contributions to international development assistance.

About IDW
Since its inception in 1991, International Development Week (IDW) has been observed each February and celebrates Canadian contributions to international humanitarian assistance throughout the world. IDW offers an opportunity to recognize and highlight the unique role Canadians play in building a better world. It encourages us–especially our youth–to be informed and to get involved in international issues!
The theme for IDW is “Go for the Goals”, which refers to the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs.
Each year MCIC releases our Book and Media Lists for Global Citizens ahead of International Development Week! Click here to explore our 2023 lists.
