About CANADEM

CANADEM is Canadian based non-profit,non-governmental organization established in 1997 with funding from the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Its main purpose is to bolster peace, order, and good governance efforts through connecting international agencies (UN, OSCE, OAS, etc.) to civilian experts. Originally designed as Canada's national roster of civilian experts, CANADEM grew up to become currently the largest roster of screened international civilian experts in the world. This non-profit Roster of International Experts enables international agencies, governments, and other nonprofit organizations to rapidly connect with qualified professionals. US State Department's Office for Reconstruction and Stabilization lists CANADEM as one of its International Partners in peace building.

CANADEM is also an official partner of UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs through its Procap Program. A similar partnership exists between UNICEF and CANADEM for emergency surge deployments.

According to the study conducted by United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations evaluating rosters for the Deployment of Civilian Experts in Peace Operations, CANADEM "is the most effective roster mechanism in terms of uptake of its members by DPKO...its success is attributable to its large and diverse roster population, its pro-active approach to responding to DPKO needs, and its competitive and rapid screening techniques."
