Hello my name is Emily Walsh and I have recently completed a Research and Internship Assistance Program (RIAP) position in Ottawa with IICA Delegation in Canada. This was a two-part internship with different organizations. I spent the first phase with 4-H Canada, and finished the assignment with IICA’s Delegation in Canada.

RIAP Award Recipient benefits from Canadian experience

According to Eksi Edwards: "Like IICA, the 4H program focus mainly on agricultural development, rural well-being and the involvement of youths in agriculture. While global warming is upon us, there is a lot to be achieved by allowing these two organisations to work together since the both are working on the UN sustainable development goals".
