My Department is responsible for two votes - Vote 28 (Foreign Affairs and Trade) and Vote 27 (International Cooperation). For 2017, the Government has provided a total of €486.4 million under Vote 27 (International. cooperation) managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, for the Irish Aid programme.

A series of indicative grants to partners is identified at the start of each year through the annual budgetary process, and payments are made subject to satisfactory grant appraisals. The budget document drawn up annually contains indicative budgets for country programmes in Irish Aid's partner countries, for multilateral organisations and for a number of funding schemes for civil society and for the provision of humanitarian funding. Grants to individual partners under these schemes are made in line with agreed application and approval processes. The list of scheduled payments includes indicative grants identified through the budgetary process and grants made under approved schemes.

Agreements are put place with all organisations which are awarded funding. These agreements include the amount and purpose of the grant, the activities to be undertaken, timeframe for completion, and reporting and accountability requirements.

Details of each body that is scheduled to receive in excess of €1 million from my Department for the provision of services in 2017 is set out in the following table:
