Overseas Development Aid: Motion.

 

In line with the Ireland Aid review, Ireland will increasingly concentrate voluntary contributions on a limited number of UN agencies, rather than being a small contributor to a large number of agencies. Priority will be given to agencies such as the United Nations Development Programme and UNICEF, whose policy objectives relate closely to our own and which are efficient and reform-minded. This will ensure, in particular, a more concentrated focus of Ireland Aid funding on the overriding programme goal to which I referred, the alleviation of poverty.
