Projects
Simon Fraser University's commitment to international development enables SFU faculty to apply their research and expertise to development projects and services. SFU's excellence in the design, development and delivery of international development projects has brought us together with partner institutions to have social impact and address the Sustainable Development Goals. Academics, staff, and students at SFU who have worked on these projects bring their unique, often life-changing, experiences and broadened perspectives back into their classrooms, research and work.
