"Development aid can have a positive impact beyond merely providing a buffer against hunger and deprivation in developing countries, as it contributes to curbing poverty and promoting human rights. Development aid is crucial for receiving countries in terms of reducing poverty. However, development aid should not be seen as enough to combat it on its own – it will take more than simply doling out money to change this. It is important to address the root causes of poverty, and to promote job creation and international trade as means of combating poverty. Development aid has a role to play in the EU’s foreign policy. Collectively, the EU and its Member States contribute more than half of global overseas development aid. My own Member State, Ireland, gave EUR 675.8 million of development aid in 2010. As such, development aid is an important instrument which the EU can use to shape issues such as human rights, social inclusion, gender equality, citizenship and climate change."@en1
