Vision 2025

Vision 2025, is a strategic vision for the sector, created with our members’ knowledge and expertise.  It is a clear and achievable roadmap of where we want to go, with directions for how to achieve the full potential of Development Education in Ireland, towards a society of Global Citizens.

Fulfilling Vision 2025 is crucial if we, as a society, are to respond to the scale, importance and urgency of the challenges we face both locally and globally.


What's needed to deliver this vision is:

  • Investment and funding for Development Education to be increased from approximately 0.6% of ODA currently to reach the European benchmark of 3% of ODA by 2025
  • Cross-government and institutional strategic prioritisation and policy coherence for Development Education
  • Scaling-up Development Education across society through formal, non-formal and informal education
  • Research into and development of monitoring and evaluation that can capture the long-term impacts of Development Education

There is a strong foundation on which to build. Ireland is recognised internationally for its support structures and the quality of its Development Education programmes and practitioners, and IDEA members have the expertise and the ability to achieve this vision.


IDEA members are committed to scale-up our work to deliver life-long, quality Development Education, that reaches hard-to-reach communities and all our society, through formal, non-formal and informal education. 

 

We need to realise Vision 2025, not only as a Development Education sector, but as a society. By strengthening global citizenship, sustainability, democracy and human rights, Development Education is at the heart of the response to the challenges we face.
