Abstract
Since the mid-2000s, national and international security has played an increasingly important role in Canadian foreign aid, as it did in other donor countries examined in this volume. The increased focus on security-related issues privileged certain aid recipients and modified how the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the main purveyor of Canada’s official development assistance (ODA), operated in relation to other Canadian government bodies in those countries.1 Nowhere was this more evident than in the Canadian government’s involvement in Afghanistan, but the trend has declined since Canada scaled back its involvement there.
