Irish Aid 2020 Development Education Grants
Irish Aid have opened their Development Education Grants 2020 Call for Proposals. Details are available on their website as of 3 October 2019:
The full information is available in the guidelines, and in particular we draw your attention to the following:
- Irish Aid have introduced multi-annual funding for this call. IDEA as a network has been calling for multi-annual funding for some years, so this is a very positive development for our sector. For this call for proposals, applications can be for either one or two year funding.
- The 2020 grants include Development Education Grants 2020 (equivalent to previous Annual Grants but now including the option to apply for 1 year or 2 year funding), DEAR co-funding, and partnership proposals.
- All applicants need to fill out an eligibility form. To get the eligibility form and the application form, you need to email developmenteducation@dfa.ie
- Eligibility forms must be returned to Irish Aid by 5pm on Friday 18th October.
- The deadline for Grant Application Forms is 5pm on Wednesday 27th November .
- Irish Aid will be holding an Information Session on these grants on Wednesday 9th October at 11:30 – 13:30 in Conference Room 1.5, in the Irish Aid offices at 13-15 Lower Hatch Street, Dublin 2.
We will be offering support to members, as always, during the grant call, as set out in our Calendar of Events :
- Wednesday 23rd October: Training workshop on Results Frameworks and our toolkit , 10am-1pm, IDEA office
- Wednesday 30th October: 2020 Grants Clinic, 11am – 12.30 pm, webinar

In June, a delegation from our Erasmus+ partner organisation LAPAS (Latvian Platform for Development Cooperation) visited Dublin for a two-day learning and exchange visit hosted by IDEA. The visit was part of an ongoing collaboration with LAPAS to strengthen quality global citizenship education (GCE) in Ireland and Latvia, using the IDEA Code of Good Practice as a framework. You can find out more about the Erasmus+ project here.
