Report on Code of Good Practice for Development Education 3 Year Review

A comprehensive review of the first 3 years of the IDEA Code of Good Practice for Development Education has been carried out by independent consultants Dr. Jamie Gorman and Áine O’Gorman.


This took place between November 2022 and March 2023 and considered all aspects of the Code, including the wording of principles and indicators, processes and support structures.


The report sets out recommendations for how Code members and the Irish Development 

Education Association (IDEA) can build on the successes of the first three years and continue to sustain 

momentum in the Code’s implementation. 


Updates will be made to Code documentation in coming weeks and months to reflect the findings and recommendations of the review process.
