Summary of publication
The evaluation confirmed the ANCP is a valued program for both Australian NGOs and the Australian development program. It provides value for ANGOs by ensuring predictable and flexible funding stream, allowing them to work in sectors and countries based on their priorities and to reach highly vulnerable groups. ANCP creates value for Australia’s development program by extending its reach, leveraging Australian public donations and creating people-to-people links. However, the evaluation also highlights areas for improvement such as a need to shift from a transactional to a more strategic partnership approach, address the structural inequities in the accreditation system and funding policy, shift to a multi-year funding model, better connect the ANCP to DFAT’s bilateral and regional programs and shift from a monitoring to an evaluative approach to better report on outcomes.

Management response to the ANCP Final Evaluation report
DFAT accepts the evaluation findings and agrees with the majority of the recommendations.
The management response outlines high level actions DFAT will take to implement the recommendations. Reflecting that ANCP is a partnership between DFAT and ANGO partners, the management response has been agreed in consultation with the Development Practice Committee (DPC) of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID). DFAT will work closely with the ACFID, DPC and the Committee for Development Cooperation to agree on detailed implementation and change management plans to take the evaluation recommendations forward.
