International Development Week
International Development Week
International Development Week (IDW) is an annual initiative that explores how Canada and Canadians are making a difference around the world and contributing to global development.
The 2026 celebration of IDW will take place from February 1–7, 2026.
IDW is a chance to acknowledge Canadian contributions to poverty reduction, sustainable development, and the ongoing global effort to achieve the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The official national theme for IDW 2026 will be announced soon. Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to hear about the theme and all the exciting events, activities, and opportunities we are putting on with our members and community partners this year.
