UK Aid Direct portal
Fund update
As all current UK Aid Direct projects will finish by the summer of 2023, this website and all its content - including guidance materials and learning resources - will no longer be updated or available after 31 August 2023.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is considering its future approach to central funding for civil society, including funding for small and medium-sized CSOs working in partnership with local actors. Ongoing engagement with our partners will be key to shaping this and will begin in due course. For any further information on UK Aid Direct, please visit gov.uk’s page on the UK Aid Direct fund.
