Summary of publication
This forward-facing refresh will update the Australian NGO Cooperation Program's (ANCP) accreditation system and Funding Policy to address relevant agreed recommendations from the 2022 ANCP Evaluation. The refresh will also look at the accreditation system and Funding Policy more broadly to update and streamline governance and implementation arrangements, including by removing duplication and inconsistences, and aligning where appropriate with other relevant standards such as DFAT’s Due Diligence Framework and ACFID’s Code of Conduct.
The accreditation system and the Funding Policy are closely linked core components of the ANCP modality. Grant funding calculations are informed by the accreditation tiers and reliant on the NGOs maintaining their accreditation status. Reflecting this, the evaluation recommended a joined-up approach to the accreditation and Funding Policy refresh to ensure that funding arrangements align with revisions to the accreditation system.
The Terms of Reference includes Key Investigative Questions guiding this refresh.
