Self Service
Though long retired, I still fondly remember when Canadian exporters, real or potential, were the number one concern of Trade Commissioners. Nowadays it looks like the focus of activity is the care and feeding of departmental programs. Here's how trade officers "track" their activity these days.
Welcome to the DFAIT Mission Advocacy Activity Tracker (MAAT)
The MAAT is the reporting tool for the following programs/funds:
- Post Initiative Fund (PIF) (GLB)
- North America Advocacy (GNB)
- Edu-Canada (GLEC)
- International Experience Canada (GLEE)
- Francophonie (MIL)
- Northern Initiative Fund (NIF) (MDA)
- Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) (GLB)
- Office of Religious Freedom (MIR)
- Canadian Leadership Program
- Trade Policy and Negotiations (TFM)
UPDATE - the above is mostly for the political program people; trade officers are even more disadvantaged by the TRIO reporting system -- a triumph of nanny-system over substance.
