Description
1) Objective
The Direct Aid Program (DAP) is part of the Australian Government’s social development assistance program. The DAP was created to provide funding assistance directly to communities for sustainable development activities. The Embassy will accept projects on all themes; however, special consideration will be given to projects focusing on First Nations or gender equality. Projects may address a broad interpretation of these themes. For example, they may focus on humanitarian assistance, gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, menstrual health, health, education or training, economic empowerment, LGBTIQ rights, disappearances, freedom of expression or migration, among others.
All projects must be aligned with Australia’s priorities and interests. All DAP projects must have a development focus and directly support poor or disadvantaged people. Projects must promote self-sufficiency and economic development of the benefiting communities. Proposals will be evaluated on their particular merits and their adherence to the overall objectives of the DAP. The DAP committee will consider projects that meet the specified areas of interest. Projects should normally be carried out and completed within a period of not more than one year after the release of the approved funds.
2) Eligibility
Projects must be submitted to the Australian Embassy in Mexico by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), cooperatives, civil associations, academic and research institutions and which are duly constituted as such in accordance with the laws of the country concerned. It is important to mention that under the DAP guidelines it is not possible to grant funding to individuals or governments.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Mexico and Guatemala.
4) Budget
Funding amounts per project will be up to a maximum of AUD $20,000 (twenty thousand Australian dollars).

The 2024-2025 call for proposals for Mexico and Guatemala will open from 21 October 2024 at 10:00 hrs. until 11 November 2024 at 23:59 hrs. (Mexico City time).
