Vancouver Sun blogs: Celebrating foreign aid that works

Don Cayo

I often carp about the failures of Canadian aid to poor countries; Khalil Shariff prefers to celebrate its successes.

As the CEO of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, which is marking its 25th anniversary of partnership with the Canadian International Development Agency, he has seen quite a lot of success to celebrate. The foundation, and its sister agencies that work under the umbrella of the international Aga Khan Development Network, are among the more effective organizations I’ve written about over my years of making periodic forays to developing countries.
