Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
Peer Review of Ireland's Development Co-operation Programme: OECD
11:30 am
Ms Karen Jorgensen:
It would be difficult to say. Personally, I have not gone to all of the partner countries we have visited so I could not draw a comparison. For each review we visit one or two partner countries so, again, our sample is not that big, although we probably visit six to eight countries in a year. As I said, the inclusion of parliament has been an important complement to reaching out to stakeholders in the development programme.
If the Chair will allow, I would like Ms Ida McDonnell to speak about engaging with civil society.
