Alinea International - TAP-EDM / PAT-MDE

Our events are part of Canada’s Technical Assistance Partnership (TAP) Expert Deployment Mechanism (EDM), a Global Affairs Canada initiative implemented by Alinea International, brings leaders from a diversity of sectors, backgrounds, genders, cultural identities and regions across Canada to share their expertise with partner countries around the world.

TAP is designed to support poverty reduction in countries around the world according to the Sustainable Development Goals.

The TAP project responds to needs identified by countries eligible for official development assistance, ranging from gender equality and vocational training to governance and natural resource management.

A key part of the TAP project is increasing awareness of Canadians as global citizens supporting their country’s international assistance investments through strong public engagement and outreach efforts.
