<b>The Jewel in the Crown: The International Development Research
Centre and Canadian Development Assistance </b><br>
<br>
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is one of the
least-known Crown corporations in Canada, yet outside of this country,
it is much appreciated and even revered. Did you know that Nelson
Mandela singled out the IDRC for special praise? That it ran a secret
operation to get academics out of Uganda under Idi Amin? <br>
<br>
<b>Join us</b> <i>Tuesday, December 9, 2008</i> at 7<i>:00 p.m</i>. in
the <i>James J. Brown Auditorium</i> at the <i>Waterloo Public Library</i>.
Bruce Muirhead, Associate Dean, Graduate Studies & Research will
present a photographic history of IDRC activities and Centre funded
projects like the Dakar, Senegal dump and M'Beubeuss.
