Deadline: 31 March 2017
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade is seeking applications for its Partnerships for International Development Fund to contribute ideas, knowledge and skills to activities that achieve sustainable economic development in developing countries.
The Partnerships Fund supports partnerships led by New Zealand-based organisations to develop and deliver locally owned responses to development challenges in countries as identified in the New Zealand Aid Programme Strategic Plan. The Partnerships Fund has a core focus on sustainable economic development with a focus on the Pacific.
The Partnerships Fund is contestable – applicants must apply for funding by presenting a case or ‘concept’. Activities have to be in keeping with the strategy and priorities of the New Zealand Aid Programme, and must include partnerships with local organisations in the developing country (in-country partners).
A number of people are involved in appraising applications to the Partnerships Fund, including the International Development Advisory and Selection Panel, an independent group that provides advice to the New Zealand Aid Programme.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Partnerships Fund is available to New Zealand non-government organisations (i.e. registered charities or other not for profit organisations), private sector and state sector organisations.
- Applications must meet a number of criteria, including alignment with the New Zealand Aid Programme’s country-specific investment priorities, development goals, and demonstrate the New Zealand contribution.
How to Apply
Interested applicants can submit their application via email at the address given on the website.
Eligible Country: New Zealand
