Deadline: 30 November 2018
Applications are now open for the Direct Aid Program (DAP) which is a flexible, small grants scheme for development activities in Tunisia managed by the Australian High Commission in Malta.
The emphasis of the program is on alleviating basic humanitarian hardships and is an integral component of Australia’s overseas development program.
DAP projects cover a range of sectors such as education, health, water and sanitation, environmental protection, women’s empowerment and gender equality, supporting people with disabilities, economic livelihoods, food security and human rights.
DAP projects engage a wide range of partners including community groups, non-government organisations, educational institutions and local governments.
The program is founded on a set of principles which:
- advance developmental outcomes in countries eligible for Official Development Assistance (ODA) through projects primarily focused on practical and tangible results. This may include projects which support good governance, human rights and those with a strong advocacy component,
- support Australia’s wider foreign and trade policy interests and public diplomacy objectives, including promoting a distinctive and positive image of Australia, and
- allow for a wide geographic reach reflecting that Australia has global interests and that DAP provides an effective way to build relationships and maintain Australia’s profile.
Funding Information
Grants will be awarded up to a maximum of $35 000 (AUD).
