Irish Aid Public Consultation for White Paper on International Development

Irish Aid is in the process of developing a new White Paper on International Development. As part of this, it has launched a public consultation process that will run from now until early October.

There will be a number of opportunities to contribute to this consultation:

The deadline for written responses, is 5.00pm, Thursday, 23 August . Guidelines for written responses are here. These should be sent to whitepaperconsultation@dfa.ie
There will also be a number of public consultations happening around the country (Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Sligo) in September and early October – dates to be confirmed.

The four main questions for the consultation are:

What elements of Ireland’s international development experience should the new policy reflect?
What are the implications of the changing global context for Ireland’s international development cooperation and humanitarian action?
Do the proposed priorities respond to the changing context and contribute to the achievement of our vision of a more equal, peaceful, sustainable world?
How can we improve delivery of Ireland’s international development cooperation and humanitarian action?
