In an effort to help developing countries, the Canadian international development center has different plans that are aimed in helping elevate the social and economic standings of developing nations. Third world countries have many social and economic problems that need to be addressed. Most of these countries do not have the financial capacity to solve these problems and often requires that help of non-profit organizations.

Studies made by UNICEF showed children die of poverty everyday at an alarming rate. This is supported by another study that showed 80 percent of the entire population is existing in poverty. The two studies showed that most of the numbers reside in developing and third world countries.

To address the poverty problem and start building more humane societies, these non-profit organizations like the Canadian international development center members are carrying out many projects in poverty-stricken areas. The projects are not simply one-time solutions but sustainable ones that the locals could use to improve their lives. The projects are planned carefully that it would only use resources that are easily available in the locality.

The fields of focus of the systems of these institutions include projects in agricultural farming and environmental protection. There are also projects that are purposed to improve the quality of healthcare of the locality. Other programs include the sponsoring of research studies on economic and social reform and its effect to the society. There are also studies on improvement brought by science and technology.

Agricultural programs are mostly about farming systems that are sustainable enough to help improve the food security for the local inhabitants. Projects for the environment not only aims to repair and maintain the beauty and health of the surroundings, it should also result to improving the health of the local inhabitants. Because of the urgent need for awareness about the issue, research studies on climate change and what can be done to reduce if not totally prevent the effects of the phenomenon to the environment is also included.

In line with their mandate to improve the lives of the people in the project area, health and healthcare programs are also encouraged. The wellness programs usually relates to providing affordable medicines and other medical services to the impoverished neighborhood and improve the policies to deliver quality health services as well as the procedures involved. In response to recent developments, spreading awareness about several chronic diseases are also included.

The organizations are also sponsoring programs that tackle the subject of economic and social improvements and how it had affected the common individual. Among the main issues that invloves the public is how the reforms are related to the development of the way of living of the people. Also enclosed in the systems are the equality issues of the society.

Science and technology related research studies are mostly about the development of human and society that is brought about by innovations in science and technology. There are also studies that determine the roles of prestigious universities and industries related to art and fashion. Aside from these programs, there is also an effort by these organizations to address the ever-growing issue of gender equality in the present society.

The improvement of living conditions is one step towards true development and improvement of living standards. This could also lead to the reduction of poverty around the world. The international non-profit organizations encourages an active participation of the local population in each of the projects that it implements. This includes forging partnerships with local organizations that provide the workers and the proposal for the project. Once approved, the Canadian international development center member organization will release aid for the project to begin.
