Deadline: 30-Jun-21
The Australian Embassy Nepal has announced a call for Expression of Interest (EoI) for the 2021-2022 Direct Aid Program (DAP).
DAP activities should primarily be aimed at achieving practical and tangible outcomes of high development impact. DAP is able to fund activities that have a direct, practical and immediate impact, including capacity building programs in the areas of governance and human rights engagement.
The Embassy will favourably consider projects:
- in the areas of community and/or rural development, education, gender equality, disabilities, youth, human rights, the environment, small-scale infrastructure, economic empowerment and ad hoc humanitarian relief;
- sports for development;
- that enhance educational and cultural exchanges and people-to-people links;
- where applicants and their communities make a contribution in labour, materials, transport or cash;
- that are achievable and have sustainable outcomes;
- projects that provide educational or occupational/skills training.
Funding Information
There is no minimum amount that a single DAP project can receive but the maximum is $60,000 over the life of the project (dependent on the country). Activities can run up to a maximum of two years.
Eligibility Criteria
Funding is available on a not-for-profit basis to community groups, NGOs and other entities engaged in development activities in countries that are eligible for ODA.
