Budget 2027 🇨🇮
"Continued commitment matters, but so does continued progress" 🌍

●APA welcomes Ireland’s continued commitment to international development and the announcement of €855 million for International Cooperation in 2027.

●At a time of growing global instability, humanitarian need and pressure on aid budgets internationally, Ireland’s commitment to development cooperation matters. It reflects a wider tradition of solidarity, partnership, human rights and international cooperation, and contributes to Ireland’s reputation as a principled and trusted international partner.

●That commitment is also visible in specific areas of development cooperation. In September, Ireland pledged €40 million to the Global Partnership for Education for 2026-2030, supporting efforts to improve learning outcomes and build more inclusive and resilient education systems in lower-income countries. These are welcome commitments.

●But continued commitment must also mean continued progress. Ireland has committed to working towards spending 0.7% of GNI on Official Development Assistance. Long-term, predictable development funding allows organisations and communities to plan, build capacity and address the underlying causes of poverty and inequality.

●It supports our work with domestic workers, street-connected children and other marginalised groups in Ethiopia and Tanzania, helping people access their rights, education, livelihoods and basic services through locally rooted partnerships.

●Ireland has shown that a small country can exercise influence through cooperation, credibility and solidarity. APA believes that this leadership should continue to be matched by the resources needed to sustain it.

💙 Peer Education: Empowering Domestic Workers

In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, APA and CVM train Domestic Workers to become Peer Educators, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to support their fellow workers.

Through peer-to-peer education, they raise awareness of Domestic Workers’ rights, the importance of written contracts, and opportunities for professional training.

🤝 By sharing knowledge and empowering one another, Peer Educators play a vital role in promoting decent work and better working conditions for Domestic Workers in Ethiopia and Tanzania.

🌎July 30th World Day Against Trafficking in Persons

CVM – Community Volunteers for the World, in collaboration with APA – A Partnership with Africa and the government authorities of Tanzania, recently organized in Arusha the Regional Seminar on Human Trafficking (TIP) and Safe Migration.

Participants highlighted the risks faced by girls recruited with false promises of domestic work and by children with disabilities, often victims of exploitation through organized begging networks.

One of the main outcomes of the seminar was the establishment of the Regional TIP Working Group which will play a key role in the development of shared strategies to prevent and combat human trafficking that especially affects those living in the most vulnerable conditions and requires a response that goes beyond mere repression.

Prevention means understanding the phenomenon, recognizing its signs, creating greater awareness, and empowering institutions to intervene promptly and in a coordinated manner.

From the Streets Back to School 💛📚

Every child deserves the chance to learn, play, and dream about the future.

For Wubrist Fekadu, that future once seemed out of reach. After losing her father, she was forced to leave school at just 9 years old and spent the next three years working as a street vendor in Finote Selam, Ethiopia, simply to survive.

Today, her story is one of hope.

With the support of APA and CVM, Wubrist is back in school, making friends, rediscovering the joy of learning, and dreaming of one day becoming a doctor.

"Thanks to the project, I have made good friends in school and I have much more hope for the future." – Wubrist

Stories like Wubrist's remind us that, with the right support, a child's future can be transformed.

🌍 World Youth Skills Day July 15th | Skills for a Shared Future

Today, on World Youth Skills Day, we celebrate the knowledge, creativity and practical skills that empower young people to shape a fairer and more sustainable world.

The 2026 theme, “Skills for a Shared Future,” highlights the importance of preparing young people to lead with empathy, communicate across cultures, build resilience and contribute to inclusive, peaceful and sustainable societies.

Through Global Education Time Youth Actions, students across Ireland develop skills in critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity and active citizenship as they explore global challenges and lead positive change.

Skills development is also central to APA and CVM projects in Ethiopia and Tanzania, where young people and domestic workers gain practical, vocational, leadership and advocacy skills that support new opportunities and stronger communities.
Different contexts. Shared learning. Skills for a shared future.
