Dr. Paul Conway:

Looking through the Centre for Global Development report, there are a number of projects across a range of the Irish Aid countries. In each project there has typically been coordination through the embassy and integration with the country's plan that was developed by Irish Aid. Dr. Angela Veale's work on rehabilitation of former child soldiers in northern Uganda was supported partly through the work of the Irish Embassy. There are projects in Tanzania and Lesotho which were coordinated with the embassy, while another was in collaboration with a British agency. The Ethiopian projects are run directly with the Irish Embassy in the country. The synergies that are available through working closely with the embassy and Irish officials in-country are utilised by a number of projects.
