Deadline: 28 July 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.

Objective

The Partnerships Fund seeks to encourage and support new partnerships and innovative approaches to address development challenges in line with the New Zealand Aid Programme’s strategic goals, with a particular focus on sustainable economic development in the Pacific region.
Eligibility Criteria

- All applicants must have a local partner(s) organisation in the developing country(s) in which they propose to work.
