Ireland
In 2005 Ireland’s net ODA reached USD 719 million, a 15.7% increase in real terms over 2004. The ODA/GNI ratio also increased from 0.39% to 0.42%. Commitment to the MDGs. Ireland’s development co-operation programmes have, for a number of years, been planned and delivered in the context of the MDGs. Approximately two-thirds of its bilateral assistance goes to LDCs and Ireland is committed to reaching the UN ODA target of 0.7% by 2012, well ahead of the EU target date. The Government of Ireland launched its first White Paper on Development Co-operation on 18 September 2006, which reaffirmed its commitment to the 0.7% target and re-enforced its focus on poverty reduction, alleviation from hunger, conflict resolution and peace building, HIV/AIDs and other communicable diseases.
