Deadline: 22 November 2016
DFID Early Market Engagement Event is currently seeking delivery partners for a new programme to deliver the manifesto commitment to double the UK Aid Match scheme, which matches public donations to charity appeals to deliver projects to reduce poverty in developing countries.
UKAM II will be more modular and flexible in design, using a range of approaches to meet its objectives in a balanced portfolio approach. The current UK Aid Match programme meets the Conservative Party Manifesto 2010 commitment to “allow British people a direct say on aid spending” by matching public donations to charity appeals for projects to reduce poverty in developing countries.
UKAM II will increase the scope and reach of the current UK Aid Match programme by providing new ways to match public giving and diversify the organisations that are accessing matched funding, aiming to build a wider and more diverse constituency of the UK public engaged in international development and having a say in how UK aid is spent.
Programme Functions
Delivery of this programme will require the Supplier(s) to fulfil four key functions:
- Explore and recommend the most appropriate mix of match funding mechanisms, as described in the UKAM lI ToRs and Business Case (to be made available at a later date), on an annual basis in order to meet the objectives of the programme.
- Deliver the agreed match funding opportunities, including outreach to CSOs, management of funding rounds, assessment of applications, carrying out due diligence of potential grant holders.
- Provide advice and support to CSOs on appeal implementation.
- Provide grant management for CSO projects under both the UKAM and UKAM II schemes through to completion.
