What we do
The aim of our aid programme is 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.

Focus on Agriculture

Trade and Economic Growth
Irish Aid focuses on trade and economic growth at national and international level to promote growth that leads to a sustained reduction in poverty.

Governance and Human Rights
Irish Aid recognises that stronger governance, the protection of human rights and effective institutions are central to sustained poverty reduction.
