The government has handed over £2.5 million in international aid.
Some of the cash was given to projects including a clinic in Uganda, and safe water in Nigeria.
And smallholder farmers in Burundi and Rwanda will also get some support.
Officials say the money will be provided through Manx-registered charities.
