Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 November 2012
181. Deputy Simon Harris asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will provide details of all the non-governmental organisations that received overseas aid funding from Ireland in 2011 and to date in 2012; the amount each NGO received and the specific purposes for which this overseas aid was provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52482/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government’s aid programme, which is managed by Irish Aid in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, is sharply focused on the fight against global poverty and hunger.It is recognised internationally for its effectiveness, and for its concentration on some of the poorest countries and communities, predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa. Our partnership with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) represents a very important element of the aid programme. Ireland channels a higher proportion of ODA through the NGO sector than most other international donors. In 2011, the Government, through schemes managed by the headquarters of Irish Aid, provided over € 105 million for the long term development work of NGOs. Funding for NGOs is also provided for their work on emergency and recovery assistance, conflict resolution and peace building, and the promotion of human rights.
To date in 2012, Irish Aid has provided some € 95 million to NGOs in Irish Aid headquarters funding. Additional funding is provided to NGOs from the development programmes in Ireland’s country programmes where we have a commitment to long-term strategic assistance. Furthermore, a small grants programme is administered by 10 Diplomatic Missions accredited to countries in which Ireland does not have a bi-lateral development co-operation programme.
Set out hereunder is a table detailing funding to NGOs from Irish Aid headquarters for long term development projects and programmes in developing countries, emergency and recovery assistance, conflict resolution and peace building and the promotion of human rights, in 2011 and to date in 2012:
