The Isle of Man's International Development policy

The Government set out its policy in relation to International Development in the Programme for Government which is to 'maintain our commitment to international development.'

The Cabinet Office is responsible for implementing the Isle of Man Government's policy on International Development and the allocation of funding from the £2.5 million International Development annual budget, in accordance with the policy of the Council of Ministers.

The four objectives that support the International Development policy are -

The Isle of Man Government will:

  • Ensure that international development funding is targeted to support projects that meet the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 
  • Focus International Development funding on those countries ranked as 'Low Development' on the United Nations Human Development Index 
  • Provide a swift response to international humanitarian crises
  • Support the voluntary sector in raising awareness of global development issues throughout the Manx population.
