CIDA's Business Process RoadMap

Version 4.3 - September 2010

Preface

CIDA's Business Process RoadMap guides CIDA staff through the business processes used to deliver CIDA's development assistance programs. It outlines the business processes related to CIDA's three business delivery models―core funding, responsive programming and directive programming and provides a high level overview of the different methodologies used to develop, manage, communicate and implement CIDA investments and provides appropriate references and links to key policies, strategies, guidelines and discussion or issue papers. While written primarily for the use of CIDA staff, it will also be of interest to the Agency's development assistance partners in Canada and abroad as well as to those interested in the way CIDA delivers its development assistance programs.

The RoadMap provides the policy, regulatory and procedural context for the conduct of Canada's development assistance programs that are delivered by the CIDA. Imbedded in this document are links to the related frameworks, policies and guidelines.

The RoadMap is a virtual or electronic document; all relevant policy and regulatory documents and reference materials are integrated into the body of the RoadMap through hyperlinks. It has been designed primarily for use within a web browser and not as a printed document.

The on-line version of the RoadMap is continually revised with the most up-to-date information. Updates to specific sections of the RoadMap are made as necessary. When a section is revised, the date of the revision follows the section heading.

The CIDA Business Process RoadMap is developed and managed by the Grants, Contributions and Contracting Management Division in collaboration with CIDA's program delivery staff and corporate specialists. The RoadMap Steering Committee provides a forum for branches to address operational issues of common interest and concern and serves as a forum for the coordination of business process improvement initiatives as well as the further development of the RoadMap.

Questions on the application and mechanics of CIDA's business delivery models should be directed to your Strategic Management or Strategic Planning Division.
