Canadian Crossroads International (CCI) is a non-profit international development organization focused on creating a sustainable and equitable world. For close to 40 years, CCI has fostered cross-cultural learning and understanding in Canada and abroad. Today we are doing much more. Persistent poverty, the AIDS pandemic and political and economic instability threaten the well being of millions of people. To meet these challenges, CCI has reinvented its work so that it is now on the vanguard of volunteer cooperation and development agencies in Canada.
CCI facilitates long-term partnerships between Southern and Canadian community groups working on similar issues. We aim to increase the capacity of grassroots organizations in the South to better meet the needs of their community by providing opportunities to develop skills, resources and expertise.Our projects are driven by the needs of the groups we work with in the South. These groups focus on the following sectors: HIV/AIDS; human rights; and poverty alleviation through community economic development.
CCI has partnerships with organizations in West Africa, Southern Africa and the Andean region of South America. The relationships are consolidated through the exchange of skilled volunteers who bring the knowledge and expertise our partners require to carry out their work as effectively as possible. CCI works in many countries, including: Suriname, Bolivia, Mali, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Togo, Niger, Ghana, and Swaziland.
