The information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
My Department provides funding to a range of organisations that might be considered non-governmental organisations (NGOs). However, there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes an NGO and so the Department does not hold information on the NGO status, or otherwise, of bodies in receipt of funding.
On that basis I am providing an indicative list of organisations commonly considered to be NGOs that my Department allocated funding to in 2020. Details are in the following table:
