Development Cooperation
The Direct Aid Program
The Direct Aid Program (DAP) is a small-grants scheme which aims to alleviate humanitarian hardship, with a particular focus on addressing the needs of women, children, and other disadvantaged groups.
Examples of areas where grants may be given include: community health, schools/education, small scale infrastructure, rural development and the environment.
In the past the Embassy has funded women’s literacy projects, vocational training programs for disadvantaged youth, and antenatal care clinics.

Human Rights Small Grants Scheme
The Australian Embassy is very pleased to be able to provide support to a program promoting women's legal rights managed by the Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women (ADEW), using funding from the HRSGS.
2007 was the first year Egyptian NGOs were eligible to apply for funding from the HRSGS, which provides substantial monetary support to the development of human rights awareness around the globe.
