Description
1) Objective
The Direct Aid Program (DAP) is a flexible, small grants scheme for development activities, managed by the Australian Embassy in Bangkok. The program funds projects that provide direct benefits to those most in need in the local community, including vulnerable or disadvantaged groups. The priority sectors for DAP projects are:
- capacity building in the areas of governance and human rights (e.g. holding workshops to advise people of their rights within the domestic legal system)
- promoting gender equality, women’s empowerment and women’s safety (e.g. supporting a program to combat gender-based violence)
- improving community health (e.g. delivering a mobile health clinic to a remote area; mental health care training for social workers; delivering a training program for telephone first responder staff)
- protecting the environment and supporting inclusive, green growth, including strengthening institutions and promoting rural development (e.g. supporting the use of renewable energy at a school by turning organic waste into an energy source)
- supporting schools or education (e.g. English phonics training for primary school teachers; delivery of water safety and drowning prevention programs)
- supporting people with a disability to access the same opportunities as others (e.g. vocational training for people with disabilities and their families; constructing wheelchair access ramps in a rural school)
- improving small-scale infrastructure (e.g. constructing check-dams to increase potable water supply in remote villages)
other projects with demonstratable development value.
2) Eligibility
Generally, post DAP committees will consider projects identified by local community associations but may also consider projects identified by individuals, the private sector, NGOs or local government authorities (for example, for local government school and hospital projects), depending on the nature of the project.
3) Location
Support is provided to projects implemented in Thailand.
4) Budget
They aim to fund DAP projects up to AUD47,000 (approximately THB1,080,000 as at August 2025).
5) Application
Applications are open from 18 August 2025 and will close at 8.00pm (ICT) on 15 September 2025. Applications submitted after this time will not be considered.
