Funding schemes for non-government organisations

• AusAID NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP)
• Funding to developing country NGOs
• Cooperation Agreements

Funding schemes for non-government organisations (NGOs) aim to provide or supplement funding for Australian NGOs to implement development, relief and rehabilitation activities in developing countries.

A program of NGO activity funding (NGO scheme) may be agreed between the Australian Government and a partner government as a suitable contribution to the aid program's strategy in that country. NGO funding schemes also contribute to the global reach of the Australian aid program.

There are a number of ways that NGOs can access funding from the Australian Government; these include the AusAID—NGO Cooperation Program and the Direct Aid Program and Small Activities Scheme which are available to developing country NGOs.
