Abstract	Canada's Official Development Assistance (ODA) program is discussed, along with the contributions that universities can offer. Issues include: (1) the rationale and goals for Third World aid programs; (2) priority projects and areas of the world; (3) whether political and economic interests should be reflected in aid programs; (4) decision-making authority; (5) aid from the private sector; (6) ODA program evaluations; and (7) the level of government support. The contributions of universities to ODA policy-making, policy and program assessment, and research directed toward strengthening national aid performance are considered. Ways that universities participate in international development cooperation are discussed: university teaching programs, specialized administrative units that coordinate development projects, linkages between Canadian universities and developing country institutions, new techniques and technology transfer, distance education, and research and publications. Additional suggestions for university involvement with ODA concern increased effectiveness, educating Third World students in Canada, and strengthening research and teaching capabilities, and a new initiative in distance education.
