Ireland donates EUR 350,000 to te chnical assistance programmes 
for developing countries 
The government of Ireland is contributing EUR 350,000 to help developing countries play a more 
active part in the multilateral trading system. 
 Ireland is contributing EUR 150,000 (CHF 156,58 2) to the Standards and Trade Development 
Facility (STDF) in 2015 to help developing countries  comply with international food safety, animal 
and plant health standards and gain access to ma rkets. Another contribution of EUR 150,000 (CHF 
156,582) will be directed to the Internship Programme for Selected Missions to help interns from developing countries gain experience of the mult ilateral trading system by working in the Geneva 
mission of their home country.  
 
A contribution of EUR 50,000 (CHF 52,194) will support the participation of least-developed 
countries (LDCs) in the Tenth WTO Ministerial Conference to take place on 15-18 December 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya. The Ministerial Conference — the WTO’s top decision-making body — is to be 
held in Africa for the first time. 
 WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo said: "I welcome Ireland's donations which will help developing countries and LDCs to integrate into the global trading system. This generous support 
is particularly timely and welcome as it will support the participation of our LDC members in the 
WTO's Ministerial Conference in Nairobi this December."   Ireland's ambassador, Patricia O'Brien, said: “These donations underscore Ireland’s continued 
commitment to help developing countries fully participate in the WTO, to expand their trading 
capacities and to use the potential of trade as a strong engine for development, growth and poverty reduction.  As the WTO marks its 20th anniversary, we are especially pleased to support the full and active participation of LDCs in the Tenth Ministerial Conference in December.” 
 
Since 2002, Ireland has donated EUR 11,520,660 (CHF 12,024,844) to WTO trust funds.  
 The STDF  is a global partnership working to incr ease awareness, mobilize resources, strengthen 
collaboration, identify and disseminate good pr actice and provide support and funding for the 
development and implementation of projects that  promote compliance with international sanitary PRESS/750 
Page 2 of 2 
 
 
 and phytosanitary requirements. Established by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the 
World Organization for Animal Health, the Worl d Bank, the World Health Organization and the 
WTO, the STDF is financed by voluntary contributions. The WTO provides the Secretariat and manages the STDF trust fund.
