Mongolia is involved in Australia’s direct aid program.
Mongolia is involved in Australia’s direct aid program. Eleven out of well over 500 applicants for Australia’s Direct Aid Program (DAP) will receive the funding from the DAP fund for Mongolia totaling AUD240 thousand 2017 and 2018. “DAP is an annual small grants program funded from Australia’s aid budget. It works with Mongolian CSOs on projects that reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development. The program is founded on a set of principles which advance development outcomes through projects focused on practical and tangible results” said Mr. John Langtry, Australian Ambassador to Mongolia. The focus areas for DAP include youth development, human rights, education, income generation, health and combating domestic violence. To name but a few, the conditions of the Children’s Department of the Army Central Hospital will improve with DAP funding and the staff will be trained to provide better medical services and environment for patient children. The Mongolian National Federation of the Blind will publish textbooks and fairy books for approximately 850 blind and visually impaired children. Mongolian Amateur Cricket Association will engage approx. 2,000 children aged between 8 and 16 in cricket sports to support their fitness and growth.
