The International Partnerships centre is responsible for managing the Canadian Urban Institute¡¦s international relationships and implementing our international activities.

We focus on sharing information about the management and governance of urban regions, bringing Canadian expertise to our partners in developing and transitioning countries, and in turn harnessing learnings from their work and sharing these through both South-South and South-North partnerships.

Our goal is to help our partners imagine a sustainable urban future and work towards it.

CUI is pleased to launch our 2008-2009 CIDA International Youth Internships. There are currently nine internship placements available. Additional placements will be posted by the end of April. Applications are due Friday, May 16th at 5:00PM.

Please note that program approval is conditional upon the signature of a contribution agreement by CIDA.
