Direct Aid Program
WHAT IS THE DIRECT AID PROGRAM (DAP)
The Australian Embassy’s Direct Aid Program (DAP) is a small grants program aimed at funding projects that seek to advance development and/or human rights objectives.
The Australian Embassy in Zimbabwe disburses DAP funding to projects in its countries of accreditation namely, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Malawi, and Republic of the Congo (RoC).
The DAP supports international and local NGOs, civil society organisations and other community-based organisations operating in these countries.
