The Government’s development programme, Irish Aid, strongly supports a range of NGO partners in delivering long-term development assistance in the areas of health, education, governance, nutrition, livelihoods, agriculture, social protection and human rights. Irish Aid also supports NGOs’ work in providing humanitarian assistance in emergency situations, and in promoting and delivering development education programmes. This support is based on the recognised role of civil society organisations in delivering assistance to those most in need, and the strong support for NGOs by the Irish public. Irish Aid funding to NGOs is provided directly from HQ and through our programmes in our Key Partner Countries.
Ireland consistently channels a higher proportion of our overall Official Development Assistance through NGOs than most major international donors. This has been acknowledged internationally, including in the OECD Development Assistance Committee’s Peer Review in 2014 which commended Ireland for the scale of its investment in the NGO sector, and for the policy engagement with civil society.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which manages the Irish Aid programme, is currently finalising the financial annexes for the 2015 Irish Aid Annual Report, which will be published shortly. The 2014 Report showed that 27% of Ireland’s total Official Development Assistance - some €167,092 million - was channelled through development Non-Governmental Organisations.
Since 2012, the Department has published details of Irish Aid funding to all civil society organisations of more than € 50,000 annually in the Irish Aid Annual Report, which is available on the Irish Aid website at www.irishaid.ie. The Question covers funding back to 2000, information on which will take time to retrieve from the financial system. My officials are available to assist the Deputy on further inquiries in relation to the details of this funding.
As an indication of the extent of the partnerships involved, the table below sets out the full list of NGOs funded by Irish Aid in 2014, the most recent year for which the details are available. This includes NGOs receiving funding below €50,000 in 2014.
