Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 October 2012
48. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the total funding allocated to the end of September 2012 under overseas development aid; the specific programmes funded; the allocation to each non governmental organisation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44909/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraFor 2012, the Government has allocated and estimated €639 million to Ireland's Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme. My Department will administer €514 million under Vote 27 – International Cooperation, while an estimated €125 million will be managed through other Government Departments and Ireland's share of the EU Development Cooperation Budget. Approximately 80% of the Vote 27 allocation for the year has been disbursed to date.
Irish Aid works closely with, and provides significant funding to, Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The funding provided ranges from support to longer term development activities, through to emergency funding, and funding for human rights activities and development education. At this stage of the year we do not have a complete listing of final disbursements to individual NGOs for 2012 as payments are ongoing. However a very comprehensive breakdown of all funding to the NGO sector for the year will be published in due course in the 2012 Irish Aid Annual Report.
The following table outlines the Programme Funding allocations made in 2012 for NGOs which receive this specific form of funding.
I am arranging for the 2011 Irish Aid Annual Report to be sent to the Deputy. This Report outlines in detail the NGO funding for 2011.
