Irish Aid is the Government's official development aid programme, of which approximately 65% is managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs. Irish Aid was found by the OECD in its peer review published earlier this year to be 'a strong voice for sustainable development'.

The table below sets out Irish Aid grants to countries over the reference period. Data for 2020 is preliminary: more complete data will be included in the Irish Aid Annual Report for 2020 when published.

As Ireland is committed to the Paris Principles for international development assistance and, also, to the Grand Bargain on humanitarian aid, Irish Aid contributions through multilateral organisations are usually unearmarked. In addition, a significant portion of Irish assistance is channelled through the European Union or to address thematic issues, such as global health or climate change.
