In May 1997, Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) published the document CIDA?s Policy on meeting basic human needs in which the following sectors were identified as key areas of intervention: Primary Health Care; Family Planning and Reproductive Health; Basic Education; Food and Nutrition; Water and Sanitation, Shelter and Humanitarian Assistance. This course will provide an overview of these sectors along with the economic sector of income generation, micro-finance and credit. We shall study each sector in relation to why it is important for development, how it is seen by the various international financial institutions (IFIs), and what the major issues are in delivering projects within these sectors and projects composed of more than one sectoral component.
