CANADIAN-FUNDED PROJECTS
The profiles in this report offer details about the countries and projects MSF Canada funded in 2010. In keeping with our principle of independence, 84 per cent of funding in Canada for MSF’s work came from private donors. Of the remaining 16 per cent, the majority came from grants from the Canadian International Development Agency and other MSF sections. The information presented here describes our work as well as MSF’s overall work in each country during 2010. The realities in each country may have changed since the publication of this report.
