Development Cooperation
The Direct Aid Program
The Direct Aid Program (DAP) is a flexible, small grants scheme for development activities managed by Heads of Australian Missions in approximately 45 countries. The emphasis of the program is on alleviating basic humanitarian hardships.
The Australian Embassy in Hanoi successfully carries out many projects across Northern and Central provinces of Vietnam. Through these projects, essential infrastructure - including schools, clinics, pumping stations, and waste management - has been upgraded and improved. We aim to give practical assistance to the most needy groups in the community, to the poor, ethnic minorities, the homeless and orphans.
This financial year (Jul 07-Jun 08), in addition to usual funding priorities, the Embassy is encouraging applications for projects that focus on improving the environment. We are looking for projects with funding requests of up to USD8,000.
Applications are welcome up until 15 Feb 2008.
Application form can be found here.
Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID)
The Australian Government's overseas aid program is a Federal Government funded program that reduces poverty in developing countries.
The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) manages the program.
Australia, through AusAID, works with other governments, the United Nations, Australian companies and non-government organisations to design and set up projects which tackle the causes and consequences of poverty in developing countries.
