Development Cooperation
Ireland (DCI) is the Government of Ireland's programme of
assistance to developing countries, an integral part of Irish
foreign policy and based in the Department of Foreign Affairs. |
| |
Direct funding is provided to
programmes and projects targeting basic needs in the following
seven priority countries: Ethiopia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Timor
Leste, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia. Next to
the named priority countries, bilateral aid is provided for
these additional programme countries: Albania, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Georgia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia
and Montenegro, Palestinian Authority, Russian Federation,
South Africa, Zimbabwe. Other countries eligible for DCI
support are Angola, Iraq, Liberia, Malawi, Sierra Leone. |
| |
DCI is especially committed to
human rights and fairness in international relations, and has
the objective to contribute to peace and poverty reduction
through sustainable development. DCI's development cooperation
follows the Millennium
Development Goals. |
| |
Within the Sector Wide Approach
framework, DCI concentrates on the sectors of education,
health, agriculture and food security, water and sanitation,
infrastructure and roads, trade, and good governance. However,
as DCI recognizes that the causes for poverty are multiple, it
considers openness to cross-sectoral activities as essential,
and emphasizes the following cross-sectoral issues: gender,
governance, HIV/AIDS, the environment. |
| |
DCI is strongly supporting the
transition from the Project to the Sector Wide Approach.
Furthermore, it provides general budget support. It emphasizes
the importance of local ownership of the development activity. |
