Official Development Assistance (ODA) – Ireland
Ireland is widely recognised as a global leader in development cooperation, with a strong focus on poverty reduction, humanitarian assistance, and human rights.

In 2024, Ireland provided approximately €2.5 billion in ODA, representing around 0.63% of Gross National Income (GNI). Ireland has made consistent progress toward the 0.7% target, though it has not yet fully reached it.
Ireland’s development programme, Irish Aid, focuses on:
- Reducing extreme poverty and hunger
- Supporting education and healthcare
- Promoting gender equality
- Addressing climate change and fragility
Ireland’s approach is highly respected internationally for its focus on the world’s poorest countries and its commitment to humanitarian principles.
Maintaining and increasing ODA funding is essential for Ireland to continue its leadership role and meet its international commitments.

Conflict in Sudan
The war in Sudan has had a devastating impact on civilians, who bear the brunt of the violence. In 2026, 33.7 million people require humanitarian assistance. Sudan has become the world’s largest displacement crisis, with more than 11 million people internally displaced and millions more forced to flee across borders.

The situation is deteriorating rapidly. According to the UN, famine is already present in multiple regions, including displacement camps in Darfur and Kordofan, with millions at risk of starvation as food, water, and medical supplies become unreachable due to active fighting and deliberate access restrictions. Outbreaks of cholera, measles, and other preventable diseases continue to spread due to the collapse of Sudan’s health system.
Attacks on residential areas, along with the use of sexual and gender-based violence, summary executions, and arbitrary detention, have further compounded the human toll.
Humanitarian agencies are unable to reach people in need. Aid convoys have been blocked, workers attacked, and vital border crossings closed. The UN has repeatedly warned that without immediate and unhindered humanitarian access, hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk.
By calling for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan and the restoration of humanitarian aid corridors, Ireland can demonstrate its leadership on the world stage and contribute to efforts aimed at preventing further loss of life and alleviating the suffering of innocent civilians.
