Uganda has returned 4m euro ($5.25m; £3.26m) of misappropriated aid funds to the Irish government.
Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Eamon Gilmore confirmed the restitution.
He said it followed "intensive high level discussions with the government of Uganda over the last two months".
"I am satisfied that this and other steps taken by the government of Uganda send a clear signal of their commitment to bring those involved to account and to improve financial control systems."
"I believe that these measures will contribute to the government's efforts to tackle corruption."
