Canadian International Development Scholarships 2030 (BCDI 2030) has disbursed $3.25M in funding to 13 projects in its Stream 2 – Institutional Partnerships. With this funding, teams of researchers hailing from 13 Canadian universities and colleges will embark on projects to support educational institutions and ministries in partner countries. The projects will develop or improve programs that address socio-economic needs and employability in the partner countries. Eight of these projects are focused on offering employability and professional integration training for BCDI 2030 Scholars, while five feature collaborations between Canadian and international postsecondary institutions. BCDI 2030 also stated that further requests for proposals (RFPs) will be launched under this initiative in the coming months.
