12 How does DFID fund CSOs Centrally? Strategic grants: Multi year funding. Allocated through central and in-country competitive processes. Aiming to deliver agreed results. DFID funding forms less than 40% of any organisation s overall funding (eg. Programme Partnership Agreements PPAs; The Global Resilience Action Programme which focuses on disaster prevention; and AidMatch which provides matched funding for NGO public fundraising campaigns.) Challenge Funds: Projects supported through competitive processes aim to deliver specific outputs (eg. Global Poverty Action Fund GPAF, Girls Education Challenge Fund both centrally managed) Pooled funds with other donors (eg. Disability Rights Fund with AuSAid) Funding via multilaterals (eg. The UN has specific targeted funds for CSOs) Slide 12
