Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP)

Under the ANCP Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Framework (MELF), ANCP-specific indicators were developed as a way for DFAT to capture the quantitative information about the contribution ANCP NGOs are making to the ANCP intermediate outcomes under the program logic as well as the Australian Development Program’s strategic goals more broadly. 

The ANCP is a unique Australian development program. It is a partnership between the Australian Government and accredited Australian NGOs. Below are projects that have been funded by the program.

The Monitoring Evaluation and Learning Framework (MELF) provides the evidence base to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ANCP in achieving results in economic growth and poverty reduction. 

Through the ANCP, DFAT partners with accredited Australian NGOs to implement their own development and poverty alleviation programs overseas. NGOs are responsible for the design, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of activities, submission of reports and acquittals and for fully accounting for funds provided by DFAT.

DFAT accreditation assesses the organisational structure, philosophies, policies and practices of Australian NGOs. Accreditation is a front-end and rigorous risk-management process. It is also a robust due diligence process for DFAT.

The ANCP is a unique Australian aid program. It is a partnership between the Australian Government and accredited Australian NGOs.
