Irish Aid leads the way in global development
IRELAND excels at delivering aid that is effective and reaches those who need it most, the OECD said this week in a major review of the Government’s overseas aid programme, Irish Aid.
The OECD commended Ireland’s strong focus on tackling hunger and poverty and our commitment to supporting families to rebuild their lives in the wake of natural and other disasters. It concluded that Ireland is “valued as a trusted and long-term partner” and “punches above its weight on global development issues”. The review was carried out by the OECD and representatives from the governments of Austria and Portugal.
