Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1194. Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will provide in tabular form the number of projects, groups and other bodies that have been funded so far this year by Irish Aid under the Development Education and Civil Society Section; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33703/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government's main funding to development NGOs under the aid programme is managed by the Civil Society and Development Education Unit of the Development Cooperation Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This includes grant funding for long-term overseas development work, implemented primarily by Irish Non-Governmental Organisations, and for development education work in Ireland by civil society organisations. Grant funding is provided specifically under three main areas: Programme Grants, the Civil Society Fund and Development Education. In addition, grants are provided to support volunteering, development work by missionaries, and, for small scale projects, through some of our missions abroad.
The following table sets out the grants made under these schemes to date in 2014:
