Since 2007, CANADEM has been instrumental in helping UNICEF finding outstanding candidates for our field missions. CANADEM clearly takes great care when carrying out their recruitment for UNICEF... has also been particularly helpful in finding French-speaking experts, and we have come to call on them frequently to help us fill positions in Francophone Africa and Haiti... we appreciate the quickness and efficiency with which CANADEM can deploy individuals.

OCHA depends on CANADEM to find the right experts and to deploy them in a timely and efficient manner. CANADEM RAP-Fund experts have a good mix of subject matter expertise, field experience, and language skills, and they arrive fully prepared, and ready to address OCHA's needs.

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.

Our implementing partner, CANADEM, has far-reaching access to technical expertise. Their roster counts more than 10,000 (14,000) experts and specialists in areas such as humanitarian aid, water and sanitation, security, engineering, governance and much more.This means our partner is able to quickly move civilian experts – who have considerable experience working in development and in fragile states – into the field.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank the CANADEM team for the excellent organization and coordination of comprehensive logistics involved in the recent 2010 Presidential elections mission to Ukraine... it was clearly evident that the mission program and schedule was well planned and developped... Throughout the entire mission, the CANADEM team was always available to respond to questions and provide assistance as necessary to ensure that the observers felt welcomed and an integral part of the overall election mission.
