IDEA will host its AGM followed by an evaluation and needs analysis on Tuesday, 26 May, at the IDEA offices.

All members are welcome and encouraged to attend both events, as member voices are vital to IDEA's mission and work.

Registration for the day will begin 10.30 am with tea/coffee and refreshments.

The AGM official business will begin at 11.00 am and continue until 12.30 pm. If you are unable to attend in person, please contact sal@ideaonline.ie directly.

IDEA will provide lunch to all attending members. Please fill out your dietary requirements and accessibility needs in the registration form. It is particularly important to register by 19th May to ensure the event is as accessible as possible.

The evaluation and needs analysis session will begin at 1.15 pm – 3.30 pm. As 2026 is the final year in our current five-year Strategic Partnerships programme with Irish Aid, this year we are evaluating the current programme and planning for future funding applications. This session is a fundamental part of this process and is an opportunity for IDEA members to feed into this work. This session will be facilitated by an external evaluator who will collate members’ feedback on IDEA’s years, current programme, and encourage a focus on key areas for the next 5 years programme current programme and also encourage a focus on key areas for the next programme.

You must be an IDEA member to attend. If you have any questions about your IDEA membership for 2026, please contact sal@ideaonline.ie.
