Irish Aid

Irish Aid is the Irish Government’s programme for overseas development. The programme is managed by the Development Cooperation Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Ireland’s development cooperation programme aims to reduce poverty, hunger and humanitarian need, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa. By supporting long term development and providing humanitarian assistance in over eighty countries, on behalf of the Irish people, we are helping to build better futures for some of the world’s poorest communities.
