Produced by the Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC), the "Who's Who" Guide to CIDAThe guide identifies both the “worker bees” responsible for managing files, and the “queen bees” responsible for making the decisions. It organizes these actors by issue and by area of responsibility, providing their job title, division and phone number. It also provides a series of organizational charts to help you relate where a specific individual fits within the broader hierarchy of decision-making.
