Overview
In 2005 the Irish government announced it would meet the UN target in overseas aid of 0.7% of GNP by 2012. This was a huge and monumental day for Ireland.
As a nation Ireland has a tradition of supporting missionary and overseas aid work, so the government’s promise truly reflected the nation’s commitment to eradicating poverty worldwide. The UN 0.7% ODA target is also been taken on by other governments worldwide, but not all.
