The Direct Aid Program

The Direct Aid Program (DAP) is a flexible, small grants scheme for development activities, administered by the Australian High Commission in Accra. Most grants are valued at AUD15,000 (approximately USD16,000) or less. The High Commission awards around twenty of these grants each year across the sub-region. The emphasis of the program is on alleviating basic humanitarian hardships. Applications are accepted between April 1 and August 31 every year though applications are processed twice each year - in September and February. Non-government organisations in Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Senegal and Togo are eligible to apply. Guidelines and a brochure explaining more about the scheme are available below.
