While it is not possible to determine exactly to what extent ACOA contributed to leveraging these additional funds, findings from other sources indicate that ACOA was important in bringing other contributors on board. For example, 74% of all collaborators[48] who are aware that ACOA is funding the project(s) indicated that they were highly influenced (i.e. a rating of 8 or more out of 10) by ACOA’s participation to collaborate on the project. In addition, 50% of all collaborators surveyed indicated that, if ACOA assistance had not been available for the project, they would not have contributed.
