My Department publishes a report on Ireland's Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme, known as Irish Aid, each year on its website. The report includes statistical information on programme expenditure in a series of annexes which clearly show the distribution of aid, including the amounts given to developing countries, and the amounts allocated to our priority focus areas as set out in A Better World, Ireland’s international development policy. The Annual Report serves as a core accountability and transparency tool, providing a comprehensive overview of expenditure under the aid programme, and demonstrating the results that have been achieved. A historical breakdown of the State’s ODA is shown Annex three at this link:
