It's a tradition but a renovated tradition. The Canadian Council on Africa is organizing its’ third strategic information mission to the headquarters of the African Development Bank in Tunis, Tunisia and the Islamic Development Bank in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, January 18 to 25, 2010.

The mission is proposed to Canadian companies, consultants, investors, financial institutions as well as educational and training institutions. It aims to increase awareness of the business and collaboration with the African Development Bank and the Islamic Development Bank. This mission is organized in collaboration with the Canadian Embassies of Tunis and Ryad, the Canadian Executive Director Office's at ADB and the Private & Public Partnership department of IDB. The mission will provide the opportunity to learn more about the mechanisms of funding, the priority countries and sectors on the African continent, the criteria of eligibility for the beneficiary countries and the eligibility for businesses and consultants who wish to work on the projects of those two institutions. Individual Meetings focussed on sectors of activity will be also on the programme.

Why participate to this important mission:

	After the economic crises, the international institutions will change their practices as they will re-examine their priorities and their projects so it's important to be aware of the "new orientations".
	To benefit of a large number of meetings in a small period of time
	To meet with the key policy makers
	To learn about the Islamic Development Bank that finance & realise lost of projects in the African continent
	And because it's important to be where the decisions are taken and it's important to be known by the decision makers
