Over 25 years of cooperation has led to Ethiopia becoming Ireland’s largest bilateral aid programme. Prioritising gender equality, governance, food, social protection and humanitarian action has resulted in a committed and trusted relationship between our two nations.

The story of Ireland and Ethiopia’s connections has long captured the hearts and minds of the Irish people, through the adventures of Dervla Murphy and the philanthropy of Bob Geldof.

The vibrant and ever-changing relationship between the Irish and Ethiopians is a testament to the shared commitment to peace and prosperity for all.
