CANADEM is an Ottawa based non-profit, government-related organization established in 1996 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, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Organization of American States, etc.) to civilian experts. Originally designed as Canada's national roster of civilian experts, CANADEM is now the largest roster of screened international civilian experts in the world.〔 (UN DPKO Best Practices Unit, Rosters for the Deployment of Civilian Experts in Peace Operations, page 28 ), accessed 13 February 2008〕 This non-profit Roster of International Experts enables international agencies, governments, and other non-profit 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.〔(US Department of State, International Partnerships to Build Peace ), accessed 13 February 2008〕 CANADEM is an official partner of UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs through its Procap Program.〔(UN OCHA web site, PROCAP Online ), accessed 13 February 2008〕 A similar partnership exists between UNICEF and CANADEM for emergency surge deployments.〔(UN OCHA Web Site, Guidelines on External Staff in Emergencies - Standby Arrangements ), accessed 13 February 2008〕 ==Roster == Main characteristics of CANADEM are:〔(CANADEM Roster ), accessed 13 February 2008〕 - Over 13,500 civilian experts skilled in human rights, civil society democratization, elections, rule of law, governance, reconstruction, security, and admin-logistics.
